    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.

    Skyzoo got himself a winner with this album.

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

    So underrated as an album and Skyzoo as an artist. There isn't a bad song on the album, the production is great, and Skyzoo's bars are fantastic. All of the features add something to the tracks they're on. Really, there isn't enough praise to put on this album. Check this out and give this the attention it deserves.… Collapse
