Skyzoo cites as influences hip hop artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Nas, N.W.A., Big Daddy Kane, and Kid 'n Play, as well as artists such as Sade, Nirvana and John Coltrane, and cites Coltrane's A Love Supreme as his favorite album. He credits J Dilla as his biggest inspiration and favorite producer. He has been critical of the direction that Hip Hop has taken, stating "People are taking the 'whatever we gotta do' method, resulting in gimmick records. I'm about making money but it has to be with dope records"
First heard sky on 106&Parks Freestyle friday when he lost to Jin. I Didn't think he was that good back then...but after he released his mixtapes - my thoughts were altered. This new one is no disappointment. It features 16 fresh cuts from the undergrounds stalwart which includes the blog-acclaimed leaks “Atypical,” “Test Drive,” “Written in the Drums” and “The Definitive Prayer.”
Joining Skyzoo throughout Great Debater are Jesse Boykins III, Manhattan and King Mez. Beats come courtesy of 9th Wonder, !llmind, Best Kept Secret, Oh No and Swiff D.
