4.19.09 = Record Store Day @ Fat Beats NY (406 6th Ave). Skyzoo drops a dope verse over Blaq Poet’s DJ Premier produced cut, “Too Strong,” then goes back-to-back freestyling with Big Zoo from EOW. This IS the essence of real hip-hop & vinyl stores like Fat Beats are definitely where the hip-hop culture lives. Skyzoo’s mixtape “Power Of Words” is out now with DJ Drama & Statik Selektah & you can check out EOW (the longest running weekly open mic in NYC) every Sunday @ Pyramid. Big shouts to DJ Eclipse & DJ JS-1 on the 1s & 2s, holding it down!
Jacob took off before the headliners in order to catch Bill Callahan at Other Music.
