New York's Finest, Skyzoo, has returned with his latest studio album, All the Brilliant Things, just as Ottawa's Finest, The Rap Music Plug, has returned to continue taking the podcast game by storm. It feels great to be back!
The way the lyrical themes play out on this album, is ultimately why I appreciate All the Brilliant Things so much more on multiple listens.
Unlike In Celebration of Us, which focused on his new experiences with Fatherhood, and how life was growing up alongside his honourable father, All the Brilliant Things differs in Skyzoo's focus.
This time around his lens is more outward, focusing on how his hometown has changed over the years mainly due to gentrification, walking you through memory lane recounting various stories and life experiences.
Sky also spends much of this album discussing his place in the game, and his contributions to hip-hop. Obviously Skyzoo has been, and still is braggadocious about his skill and accomplishments. However, on All the Brilliant Things, what I'm referring to is a grounded and celebratory view on what his rap career has meant to the art form, and what his career has indirectly meant for young men from his home... serving as an inspiration for those that grew up alongside him.
I obviously recognized Skyzoo's lyricism to be great since day 1. But on this album, I find the themes are exceptionally put together and push this album over the top.
Couple that with exquisite jazz-infused instrumentals, and we have another great rap album in 2021.
