Skyzoo

A boy, a teen, a man, but one dream.

That’s the vision of A Dream Deferred. Skyzoo channels himself at 7, 15 and as a young man, daring the world to defy his ambition. Over some of the most lush production of the decade, Brooklyn becomes a character as much as an environment, breathing down Sky’s neck, threatening and encouraging in equal amounts. And in that cradle, Sky reflects on himself and celebrates Black excellence like few others could. So, read our thoughts on A Dream Deferred, listen to our interview with Skyzoo and hear why it’s one of the best of the 10s.

“I observed everything as a kid. I was a sponge. My first rhymes were looking out the window on the 18th floor. ”
