Vevo announces Skyzoo as the next artist in their new Ctrl series with performances of “One Time” and “Homegrown.” Both songs are featured on Skyzoo's collaboration album with Pete Rock Retropolitan available now on streaming on all platforms.

Vevo’s Ctrl series highlights the work of hard-hitting, cutting-edge musicians making an impact in today’s music scene – both emerging and established. These artists demand attention, and Vevo’s Ctrl shines a deserving spotlight. Shot in Vevo’s Brooklyn studio, Skyzoo’s performance follow sessions from Rick Ross, Common, Rapsody, Jeezy, A$AP Ferg and more.

Skyzoo is yet another generational talent who can trace his love of hip-hop back to the Pete Rock wellspring. Over the last decade, the Crown Heights lyricist has tirelessly and timelessly kept the torch of New York hip-hop alive. There is no facet of the art form that he hasn’t reached the platonic ideal: breath control, vibrant wordplay, technically advanced cadences, poignant narration and impeccable beat selection. He’s your favorite producer’s favorite rapper, breathing life to instrumentals from DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, Black Milk, Just Blaze, Statik Selektah, and Apollo Brown.
