Raise your hand if you’ve ever had to perform surgery on a cassette tape that you’ve rescued from a disrespectful boombox. Brooklyn rapper Skyzoo and producer !llmind remember the analog era fondly and have teamed up to bring a 2010 version on their collaborative album aptly titled “Live From The Tape Deck.”
Wednesday night in New York the duo held a private listening session for the album at Guitar Center and TheUrbanDaily.com was in the building to the sneak peek.
“We wanted to make a 2010 cassette tape. That’s why it’s only 12 songs,” Skyzoo told the crowd. “And if you had a tape you knew one side represented one thing and the other represented something else. I knew that with Ready To Die that side A was real raw and side B was real emotional. You’ll see how the gears shift on tracks 7 through 12.”
Highlights on the album include, “The Burn Notice” f/ Sean Price and Rock of Heltah Skeltah, Barrell Brothers F/ Torae and the mind-bending “Langston’s Pen.”
Live From The Tape Deck will be in stores on October 5th on Duck Down Records.
