Long-time Kitchen/COC-affiliate, T.Shirt is going global!
Had the chance to collaborate with the young ill producer FLUME from Australia, on his self-titled debut as it currently sits at #1 on the Australia iTunes Top 100 Albums chart.
Really happy for the kid.
Our joint from the record especially getting a lot of love, with Rolling Stone mentioning it as one of the standout cuts. It’s a shame they call me an “LA rapper” but I’ll take it…

I know this dropped a couple months ago and the album it’s from came out Oct. 2 but I just caught up with this, am digging it and as I’ve frequently said, we do what the f-ck we want here at The Kitchen so enjoy Brooklyn’s finest spittin’ over a very ill(mind) and twisted dubsteppy bassline:
With his highly anticipated sophomore album “A Dream Deferred” set for a 10/2 release date, Skyzoo launches his new single “Give It Up” (feat. DJ Prince), produced by !llmind (Kanye West, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Scarface). The single, which mashes vintage hip hop drums and 808s with dubstep grime, is a staple of !llmind‘s new signature “boom-trap” sound, which can most recently be found via his production on “The Morning” by Kanye West & G.O.O.D. Music on the Cruel Summer album. Topped with Sky’s signature “slick talk” lyricism, the song is a subwoofer’s dream come true.
“A Dream Deferred”, featuring Jill Scott, Freeway, Talib Kweli, Raheem Devaughn and more, and produced by !llmind, Jahlil Beats, 9th Wonder, Black Milk and more, drops on 10/2 via Sky’s newly formed label The Faculty Inc./Duck Down Music.
