I listened to Skyzoo and Pete Rock's #newalbum Retropolitan. It's a good listen but i would have expected better beats and better song making. And by that I mean I would have expected some beats and some songs that stood out immediately. Sky is kind of at his best when he has early Jay-Z type, jazzy and cinematic beats, however he does do well over Jazzy beats also. This album grew on me, nothing really stood out after the first listen and it took a while for me to get back around to it, it's by no means and instant replay or on constant loop album, but it's definitely worth multiple listens, in fact you'll need multiple listen to even appreciate it. If you're the type of person that music is disposable for and you have to like it instantly or it's on to the next this is not the project for you; there's a lot of nuance in this project that does not stand out in the first listen. It's not a flashy listen, there are no big radio hits or huge features, it doesn't sound like anything else being made currently. It's a very throwback, very New York, very underground 90's sounding album, yet it still is up to date. My favorites songs are " Truck Jewels", " It's All Good", and "Glorious" - B
