New Music: Skyzoo x Thurz x Los – The Sparks
The 8th annual AC3 Music Festival – aka the biggest hip hop festival in the southeast region of the US – went down from Oct 11-13 in Atlanta, Georgia. AC3 is not just a platform to unite hip hop nerds with their favorite – and soon-to-be new favorite – emcees. It’s also an opportunity for artists, DJs, and producers to get together and make ill music. They link up at the legendary Stankonia Studios to crank out some heat that gets packaged into a collaborative album. Here we have the first leak off of the Stankonia Sessions: 2012 AC3 Edition. Spitters Skyzoo, Thurz, and Los drop bars over a real relaxing beat courtesy of SMKA and The Flush. The trio fuses “The Sparks” suave production together with solid lyricism, providing us with a pretty dope listening experience. Check it out after the jump.
New Music: Skyzoo ft. Chi-Ali – Jansport Strings (Remix) Prod. by 9th Wonder
BK spitter Skyzoo resurrects Chi-Ali on this one. Sky released the original version of his 9th Wonder-produced single “Jansport Strings” a little while back; for the remix to the track on which he pays homage to Chi-Ali, the master wordsmith really tied it all together by inviting the legendary emcee to the booth to do himself some justice on the cut. The verse was the first that Chi recorded since being released from prison after serving a 12-year stint for second-degree murder. He states that he’s:
Back from the dead like it’s Easter and I’m Christ and I’m, here for them checks like the sneakers and them Nikes
Chi-Ali is wastin no time on a resurgence. “Jansport Strings” lives on Skyzoo’s highly anticipated LP A Dream Deferred, which will come to fruition tomorrow Oct 2. Take a listen below, and check out the official “Jansport Strings” video, plus some behind the scenes footage of the two lyricists in the lab as a bonus after the jump.
