Local-Mu12 - "Champions" (Feat. Skyzoo)

The hip-hop collective Local-Mu12, are looking to make a name for themselves on the independent rap scene. They are dropping their debut album “Labor Day” appropriately on September 3^rd. The only features on the album belong to New York lyricists Skyzoo, Torae, and Chi-town’s GLC (Kanye West’s old pal). Local-Mu12 makes music for the gritty rap music lover.

Their single “Champions” features Stryfe & Broadway Barrett along with one of Brooklyn’s finest emcees Skyzoo. The combination makes for a musical onslaught of hip-hop at its core. Skyzoo hits the track hard on the second verse with his signature Brooklyn-style rap and bravado. Sky compliments Stryfe & Broadway Barrett for a potent one, two, three punch.

Real McKoy is responsible for the triumphant beat. “Champions” begins with a slow string sample, which makes for an exciting transition when a procession of horns enter over hip-hop drums. “Champions” sounds like a victory march for hip-hop music fans who miss the east coast style that is lacking on mainstream radio today. Hopefully, artists like Skyzoo and Local-Mu12 can continue to carry the torch for quality rap music to the promised land.
