Back with his 10th studio album, legendary New York lyricist, Skyzoo delivers another gem with All the Brilliant Things. As usual, the culture’s favorite ghostwriter isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary here, but his well-thought-out, reminiscent writing can make even the newest listeners vividly envision Sky’s adolescent antics. Bringing these stories to life over a smooth score that prides itself with boom-bap drums and a vintage feel, the 38-year-olds stories feel more authentic than ever. When it comes to technically proficient and topically rich hip hop records, there’s been very as much engaging as this in 2021.
