With Apollo Brown’s rapid-fire instrumentals and Skyzoo’s sharp wordplay, fans are slowly envisioning one of Hip-hop’s finest tandems. After two years of speculative appearances along tours, collaborations, tours, and styles, the duo finally announced their much-anticipated collaborative album.
Scheduled for release on September 30, The Easy Truth, features Joell Ortiz, Westside Gunn, Stalley, Conway and Patty Crash. Recorded and produced in Detroit, the album presents numerous possibilities even in its pre-release.
Skyzoo attests to the album’s content as “seeing the world through their eyes”, and within their understanding of things: “It felt like everything I wanted to speak on in terms of the content. My neighborhood, unbridled but misguided ambition, police brutality, gentrification, the dichotomy that exists in life, everything”.
Allowing a peak into their upcoming album, the duo unveiled “Basquiat on the Draw”, their single delivered by XXL
Joined by Westside Gunn and Conway, the song showcases Skyzoo breezing through his distinct magnum-crafted wordplay while being firmly anchored by Apollo’s contagious beats. More significantly, their partnership features an unfiltered look “into the underbelly of New York—a black and white examination of classic styles”.
Perhaps it comes off as safe to say that we are, undoubtedly, a week away from witnessing the next iconic Hip-hop partnering when Apollo Brown and Skyzoo launch The Easy Truth into the scene.
