In Celebration of Us is easily the most complex, most layered and
most important work to date, no debates in Skyzoo’s distinguished career. His
greatest piece thus far. Produced by
Illmind, Apollo Brown, Daringer, Marc Nfinit, Cardiak, Tuamie, Ave Prod., Seige
Monstracity, and Arte Mitchell. No rap features, Skyzoo got enough raps. These
are stories that, like The Salvation, he preferred to tell
on his own. Sky has never been this meticulous about an album in his life.
Conceptually, this is Ta-nehisi Coates meets Chappelle’s Show meets The
Autobiography of Malcolm X meets Blackish meets the case of Sandra Bland meets
the birth of Air Jordans. It’s intense. And it’s beautiful!!
"On this album, I wanted to tap into the present, more so
than any other album of mine as far as full projects. Music of the times is the
best way to describe it” Skyzoo commented to Billboard. “From cultural
appropriation and gentrification to police brutality and the irony of motives
behind bigger motives, it’s an album that explores who we are and why we are
where we are in society, as a people. What’s been done to us and what we’ve
done to ourselves, mainly out of confused necessity, all while celebrating us
in the process. Conceptually, this is Ta-nehisi Coates meets Chappelle’s
Show, The Autobiography of Malcolm X meets Black-ish, the case of Sandra Bland
meets the birth of Air Jordans. It’s intense, and it’s beautiful. I’m honored
to be able to give my take on our story".
