Episode 308- Skyzoo Live Interview

Author: Dad Bod Rap Pod July 25, 2024 Duration: 1:20:28
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. DBRP is a Stony Island Audio experience, please make sure to check out the other fine programs on the network.

The conversation flows from three distinct but deeply connected perspectives on Dad Bod Rap Pod. Hosted by rapper Demone Carter (DEM ONE), music writer David Ma, and record collector Nate LeBlanc, this podcast digs into the culture with a rare combination of insider knowledge, critical analysis, and archival passion. Their discussions are less about hot takes and more about substantive, respectful dialogue with the artists, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures who have shaped the genre. You'll hear interviews that feel like conversations among peers, often uncovering lesser-known stories and appreciating the craft from multiple angles. As part of the Stony Island Audio network, the show is built on a foundation of genuine fandom and expertise. Listening to this podcast means getting a rounded, thoughtful examination of hip-hop's legacy and its current evolution, all filtered through the experiences of three dedicated enthusiasts who happen to have great chemistry. It’s for anyone who wants to move beyond the surface and into the deeper layers of the music.
