INTERVIEW: Skyzoo Explains Split from 9th Wonder’s (@9thWonderMusic) Jamla Records?

Grammy winning producer 9^th Wonder’s trademark presence is not as strong on the upcoming album as on Skyzoo’s debut album, The Salvation, which was released on 9^th Wonder’s Jamla imprint. Although the North Carolina producer lends to the album’s first single, “Jansport Springs (One-Time for Chi-Ali),” Skyzoo claims that for the majority of A Dream Deferred, he wanted to stray away from the sample-heavy beats which permeate 9^th Wonder’s signature sound.

In recent times, Skyzoo has parted ways with Jamla in order to build The Faculty, but says 9^th Wonder has been supportive of his recent endeavors. “That was one of the things that 9^th and I had talked about. He was all for it,” said Skyzoo. “I felt like I did my part in helping to get Jamla to a certain place. And I wanted to do that for my own Jamla now.”
