SXSW Hip Hop: Skyzoo at SXSW Music 2011

We’ve been keeping an eye on Skyzoo’s progress here at Birthplace Magazine, highlighting him on several occasions, including a review of his debut album The Salvation, his “Frisbees” video, contribution to the A (2)Dope Mixtape: Empire State Edition, and in general noticing how his hard work over the years is hopefully starting to pay off. The Brooklynite is signed to Duck Down Records, and has been hitting stages spreading his brand of lyrical hip hop throughout the country.
