Skyzoo and The Other Guys Are Realer Than Most [Video]

DMV-based production duo The Other Guys teamed up with Brooklyn wordsmith Skyzoo. The result is a jazzy, lyrical treat with smooth visuals to match.

What can we say about Skyzoo that we haven’t already. A writer’s writer… Intricate wordsmith… This Brooklyn MC is perennially one of the first we mention when putting others on to the oft-overlooked depth of our region’s continued musical inventiveness.

One half of The Barrel Brothers (indie vet Torae is the other), Skyzoo’s love for jazz often shows up in his choice of sonic stylings and the swing in his cadence. In “Realer Than Most,” he’s right in his wheelhouse, flowing casually-cool over the smoothed out vibes crafted by DMV-based production duo, The Other Guys (Mighty Joe and Isaiah “Insanate” Mensah).

For us, a new Skyzoo joint will almost always get instant and constant rotation. “Realer Than Most” continues in this tradition, with the added bonus of putting us on to The Other Guys (who have created tunes for some of our other hometown favorites, including Sadat X, Tanya Morgan and Homeboy Sandman).

The song is off of The Other Guy’s latest album Life In Analog. 

If you dig Skyzoo, you’ll surely be interested to know that he and Apollo Brown have an album coming. Here’s info on the release eventMore on Skyzoo here.
