    Skyzoo has created an album that may not be the dream we all thought it could be, but it is one that will be playing in your mind long after you've nodded off.

    The production is on point and the rhyme patterns are above average, but there's a distinct lack of cohesion.

    If A Dream Deferred isn't the best produced album this year, it's gotta be in the top three.

    Skyzoo's sincerity as a rapper is shot through A Dream Deferred, but the album has a seamless musical charm.

    Even as he rocks increasingly ambitious production--and trust, Dream Deferred is one of 2012's great accomplishments--it's sometimes hard to get on Skyzoo's side as much as he seem tailored towards accessibility.
