This project slides, but I can’t help but feel like it was made for diehard Skyzoo fans or just for Skyzoo himself because this shit is not for casual rap fans. He’s out here snapping as usual dropping gems left and right but you almost have to listen through some of the beats to even hear what he’s saying. I get they were going for a jazz centric sound but jazz is already clunky on its own and some of these tracks just feel over produced. Track ten sounds like they sampled the sound of a free form jazz band falling down a flight of stairs. Other then that I fucked with the project overall and will probably give it a few more spins to see if it grows on me more.
