Fantastic production and strong lyricism are slightly hindered by a sometimes snooze-worthy flow on Skyzoo's official debut, The Salvation . For many hip-hop heads, Skyzoo's The Salvation is an album they never thought they would actually hear. It never got quite to the level of Dr. Dre's Detox, but who could blame the Brooklyn emcee's fans for thinking this day would never come?

Artemus Jenkins directed the video, which was shot in NYC, and is bookended by train shots. This is a really well-done video, and matches the tone of the 9th Wonder produced song. Check it [...]
