New Video: "Jansport Strings" - Skyzoo

Here is the official video for "Jansport Strings,” the 9th Wonder produced lead single off Skyzoo's upcoming album, 'A Dream Deferred,' out October 2nd on The Faculty/Duck Down Music Inc. Video Directed by Anthony Sylvester.

In Skyzoo's Words:

The theme was to show the parallels between me as a 9-year old aspiring emcee and me now as an accomplished emcee and artist, and how the things around me that groomed me haven't changed. The song is a 3-minute auto-bio of me as a kid in Brooklyn.

The ending is a clip from Video Music Box, the legendary NYC video show run by DJ Ralph McDaniels. This episode in particular was the debut of Chi-Ali's 'Age Ain't Nothin But A Number'. Seeing that video that day on this episode of VMB made me start rhyming. This clip was literally the moment that changed my life. And the Chi-Ali tee shirt is pretty amazing. They'll be on sale soon. Enjoy...

New Video: "FGR (First Generation Rich)" - Skyzoo

"The idea for #FGR came from me watching an Oprah Winfrey special on the Miami Heat's recent title win, and she asked Dwyane Wade about his life now as opposed to when he was a kid in Chicago. He went on to talk about being the first one in his family to have any type of "real money". In doing so, he used a slogan, "first generation rich". Oprah acknowledged said slogan, thus signaling that she'd known of/used the term as well when describing what that new found life turns into, and just like that, it hit me. FGR. First Generation Rich.

The idea of being the first one in your family, the first generation on your side, to make it. Produced by Roc Nation's Jahlil Beats, the track said everything I needed it to before I even began to write to it. The idea for the "Theo vs JJ" mixtape was to show the vast differences between highs and lows, living to win and winning to live, fortune and misfortune, FGR. So, shout out to #FGR and everyone who's ever felt that feeling within them, this one's for us." - Skyzoo

"Theo vs JJ: Dreams vs Reality" mixtape is now available here.

He's an incredible artist and did an excellent job of bringing the theme of the album to life."

New Joint: "Jansport Strings" - Skyzoo (Produced by 9th Wonder)

Check out the lead single off Skyzoo's upcoming album 'A Dream Deferred' which drops Oct. 2nd on The Faculty/Duck Down Music Inc.

"The idea behind Jansport Strings is not based on it being literal, but more so in the figurative sense. As a kid in NY, the strings on your Jansport bag were a sign of power and presence. Kids would steal the strings off of each other's bags and burn the tips to prevent getting robbed of them once they got them.

The song is a 3 minute auto-bio of me as a kid in Brooklyn and seeing more than my friends and I had bargained for. In essence, my Jansport strings tied it all together, seeing what we all saw and what it made us. The ending is a clip from Video Music Box, the legendary NYC video show run by DJ Ralph McDaniels. This episode in particular was the debut of Chi-Ali's 'Age Ain't Nothin But A Number'. Seeing that video that day on this episode of VMB made me start rhyming. This clip was literally the moment that changed my life." - Skyzoo
