Skyzoo and Torae walk fans into the album with the official first single, Blue Yankee Fitted. The !llmind produced knocker is an ode to the city emblazoned on arguably the most popular fitted cap of all time; the navy blue Yankee hat. Dirty drums, a humming bass line and a haunting vocal track set the tone for Sky and Tor's depiction of NYC, mixed in with their signature brand of braggadocio and lyricism.
The single, available now for purchase via itunes, takes a look at what the feel of New York was, what it wound up becoming and what it's shaping up to revert back to with the Barrel Brothers at the helm. "When putting together the first single, we knew we wanted it to be something that checked everything off of the list as far as the album goes, says Skyzoo. "The list consisting of witty lyricism, true to heart NYC production, and most importantly the feel of New York, but the New York that we grew up in and know so well. Whatever the "new New York" may be is up for debate, but the NYC that shaped us is what this album is based on. What better way to set the album up than with a song centered around the face of NY sports and the greatest hat ever. We covered all bases. No pun intended".
Blue Yankee Fitted is available for purchase on iTunes here and can be streamed via soundcloud now, and the official video will be released next week to all major internet media and TV outlets. The album, "Barrel Brothers" hits stores and iTunes on May 27th.
