Skzyoo continues his long, uninterrupted stream of quality releases with Peddler Themes, an 8-track EP which flaunts the jazzy, boom-bap-influenced production stylings and poetic, introspective wordplay the Brooklyn wordsmith is widely respected for.
A true veteran of the industry, Skyzoo always brings his trademark layered wordplay, effortless flow and music which embodies the New York spirit, appealing to any fan of the region’s traditional sound, or those craving a touch of lyrical complexity with their beats.
This concept is demonstrated by the gritty, visual style on display on “Bamboo,” an intricate look at the business behind the proliferation of guns throughout communities of color, in a nod to a character in the movie Strapped.

I’ve been personally writing Skyzoo’s praises for more than eight years, and I called his last full length effort, The Easy Truth, along with producer Apollo Brown, “essential” New York hip-hop for 2016.
With Peddler Themes, Skyzoo continues to prove himself one of the city’s most dependable hip-hop ambassadors.
