Even though his debut, The Salvation, was pretty solid, Skyzoo's strongest moments always appear on his mixtapes. Be it his mixtape-centric release with Illmind, Live from the Tape Deck, or this year's The Great Debater, the Brooklyn rapper is at his best when he's not confined to the parameters of a typical album. As such, tracks like "Atypical," his latest single off The Great Debater, work so well because Sky's relaxed and just rapping over a bare-bones beat. Equally minimalist is the video, which just features him spitting bars surrounded by four females. Flashiness isn't necessary when you can rap like this.
Yeah this is pretty raw.
