When it comes to the  "Golden Standard" of  visualization Gene Grey has set bar high with his level of detail in all of his artwork..I had the opportunity the to chat it up with about his upcoming release  entitled "Golden Standard," a collection of 10 iconic heroes to the culture with gold teeth to symbolize success, status, and abundance. So considering the role Miami played in his life, it's appropriate to pay homage to his legends in a Miami fashion..

Father's Day is a day of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society. And my favorite lyricist Skyzoo just release his first single "A Song For My Father," off his new project entitled "Milestones" A Story Dedicated To Fatherhood, "The idea for this project came from me noticing the landscape of how fathers are represented in hip hop. Outside of Will Smith’s classic “Just the Two Of Us” and a handful of others, the majority of the records in hip hop that speak on fatherhood have a negative connotation. I wanted to change that narrative, as it’s not the only one that exists. Myself being a father, there are a ton of others like me who are engulfed in hip hop and are also 24 hour a day dads, who’s kids mean the world to them. I wanted to showcase that. I started this project in august of 2019 as one song, and it grew into an entire project within a week, and I’ve been sitting on this idea since the summer/fall, waiting for Father’s Day weekend to come around.

This is a conceptual EP, where each song is a story that holds hands with the ones before and after it, all about my life as a kid, growing up with my father always in my life, and how that’s now shaped me as a father myself. It’s named “Milestones”, after my son Miles, and also signifying the milestones that us dads reach in life as we grow into fatherhood. This project is solely about growing Up with a dad, being a dad, and the importance of it all. To all the fathers out here who are lovingly and actively doing the work, this one is for us."

Skyzoo's "Milestones" is available
