Episode 308- Skyzoo Live Interview
It’s pretty rare for a rapper of Skyzoo’s caliber to perform live in downtown San Jose where our podcast is based, so we made sure to not only attend the show but to hang out in the green room a bit and have a conversation with one of NY’s finest. Dad Bod Rap Pod hosts Demone Carter and David Ma chat with the gifted lyricist about his recent record The Mind Of A Saint (Deluxe), a fascinating concept album that is based on the television program Snowfall. This is our second time interviewing Skyzoo, please check out DBRP 180 for an in-depth conversation about his great album All The Brilliant Things. We here at Dad Bod Rap Pod are huge proponents of artists swinging for the fences, and this record is a great example of a mid-career MC doing something a little different and succeeding. We encourage you to check out the album whether you have seen the TV show or not, it works as a standalone project, and we imagine it would be all the more enjoyable if you’re well versed in the lore of the show as well. In the bracketing banter segments we review the album, talk about Skyzoo’s live show, and delve into a near tragedy with co-host Nate LeBlanc’s air pod headphones, which he insists on calling the Dad Bod Air Pods.
