Growing up just a block away from The Notorious
B.I.G., watching him go from local corner boy to rap superstar, Gregory
Skyler “Skyzoo” Taylor couldn’t help but dream big. The Brooklyn, NY
native saw life in all of its heaven and hell splendor being from the
infamous home of Jay-Z and "Do The Right Thing". He started rapping at
age nine, writing about what he witnessed on his daily routines as a
child. Those years of observation and living have turned into first
person narratives that have labeled Skyzoo as a "new legend" and have
led to his albums being critically acclaimed by fans and critics alike.
His storytelling has been commended by all walks of literary life, from
hip hop royalty to university professors and everyone in between.
The fan base Skyzoo has been able to acquire stretches from the street
to the workplace, from the college hipsters to the women who shop in
luxe boutiques, which have all lead to memorable placements: HBO's hit
Entourage, NBA2K11 and NBA2K12 (he's the first and only artist to date
to be included in the franchise's game and soundtrack in back to back
releases), Grand Theft Auto 4: Lost and the Damned, and ESPN’s KIA NBA
Shoot Around have all used Sky's music towards their markets, and the
rapper also has a longstanding relationship as a musical rep for Brand
Jordan.
Skyzoo has toured with Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Pharoahe Monch, Sean
Price, and Buckshot, as well as headlined internationally in places like
China, London, Paris, Berlin, Italy, Amsterdam, and more. He’s
collaborated with the likes of Wale, Lloyd Banks, Pete Rock, Jahlil
Beats, Hi-Tek, DJ Khalil, Buckwild, Jake One, Flo-Rida, Maino, Little
Brother, EPMD, N.O.R.E, Talib Kweli, DJ Drama, Ace Hood, Sean Price, and
Don Cannon, just to name a few. With his highly anticipated sophomore
album A Dream Deferred slated for a fall 2012 release, Skyzoo is focused
on continuing to be the ultimate artist, one able to make classic music
with a lasting impact. Listeners can identify with his story; they can
see the many sides of themselves in him. They play “For What It’s Worth”
on their way to a dead-end job. They bump “Necessary Evils” as they
hustle. They blare “Speakers On Blast” when they party. No matter the
mood, season, or circumstance, Skyzoo offers music to live to, and to
live by. The true embodiment of a street scholar. As his slogan goes,
"Lyrics Will Never Be The Same".
