Skyzoo – The Salvation (15th Anniversary Edition) (2LP Reissue) [Duck Down DDMLP211515]

***PRE-ORDER – Est. 18/10/24***

“The Salvation” was Skyzoo’s first official album, and featured beats by a who’s who of hip hop producers of the moment, including Just Blaze (Jay-Z, Usher, Kanye West), 9th Wonder (Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child, Kendrick Lamar), Nottz (Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent), and Illmind (Ludacris, Scarface, J.Cole, Drake). Skyzoo has released over a dozen albums on various labels, including full-length releases with Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Apollo Brown, and Illmind. He is of the most respected emcees of his generation, and has collaborated with artists like Rakim, Black Thought, Westside Gunn, Jadakiss, Jill Scott, Sean Price, Little Brother, Diamond D, John Legend, Talib Kweli, Elzhi, and others.

Originally released September 29, 2009, Skyzoo’s first official full-length LP “The Salvation” is celebrating its 15th Anniversary this fall, via Duck Down Records. The Brooklyn-raised emcee first came to prominence on various Mix CD releases at the peak of hip hop’s blog era, but the album firmly established him as a major talent to be reckoned with, reminding hip hop fans that the hip hop music can still be true to life and heartfelt.

Anniversary vinyl will be pressed on a limited edition Navy Blue and White marbled vinyl, matching the colours of the most famous fitted cap from New York.
