Skyzoo & Chuck D: A couple living rap heavyweights deliver with the 'Courtesy Call'
Anytime rap veteran Skyzoo is serving up? I’m tapped in. But how about adding Public Enemy legend Chuck D to the mix with a hard-hitting ‘Courtesy Call’ gem? Tough.
It’s more than just a fire tune, though. How about preparing for a full-fledged Keep Me Company album arriving in the coming days? Tough. Tough.
After dropping a loosie, “The Workload,” featuring Method Man a few weeks ago, Skyzoo is back with a new single and a new album announcement.
Now, in addition to releasing “Courtesy Call” featuring the legendary Chuck D, Skyzoo has also announced the follow-up to his critically acclaimed, The Mind Of A Saint, as his new album, Keep Me Company, will be released on 11.29.24. “Courtesy Call” is now available at all DSP’s.
“The idea behind “Courtesy Call” came from the energy of the beat itself. The track, produced by The Dagger, out of Michigan, is bare-boned and layered all at once; between the subs and the 808’s going neck and neck with the breakbeat drums. It’s sort of a double entendre in its own right, and the intensity of it led me to write a sparring session over it. As someone known for double-meanings, but also storytelling, it had been a while since I used that multi-layered part of my arsenal to just “rap”; so this was an opportunity to just rhyme relentlessly. The beauty of the record is every single line is at least a double entendre, if not a triple” Skyzoo explains. “For the hook, I had this idea of a grand and boisterous voice to being the “warning” home; and there’s none better than the legendary Chuck D. Over the years, Chuck has been a huge supporter of mine, so we were overdue for a collab—and I am honored to have him on the record with me.”
Skyzoo’s new album, Keep Me Company, will be released on 11.29.24 via FGR Inc./Old Soul Music.
