The Mind Of A Saint a fost lansat în data de 13 ianuarie 2023, prin First Generation Rich & HiPNOTT Records.
"When making this album, I wanted
to do something that creatively pushed a button. Something that served a
purpose while trying to understand both sides of the fence that it
represents. The idea of a fictional character, Franklin Saint, and what
his innermost thoughts could be when dealing with the fictional world
he’s caught within. What makes it so intriguing is that his character
and his world are mirrors of a time and EDA that really happened. The
birth of one of the world’s most addictive drugs and how its ripple
effect took on a life that may seemingly never die. The crack era was
one of the worst chapters in black America’s story. Using the “Snowfall”
series as a vehicle to delve into both sides was truly fascinating as
an emcee. It’s a project that is layered beyond measure. If you’ve never
seen Snowfall, you’ll think it’s a really great album, but if you’re an
avid fan of Snowfall, you’ll truly feel as if Franklin, the conflicted
boy genius turned millionaire and career criminal, truly did pick up a
pen and pad to write his life story over a bed of beats. It was one of
the most intense projects I’ve ever written. The idea of becoming a
fictional character which represents actual real life events, making
sure to hit every detail, be it from both the show and our real world,
was a writing work out like no other. I’m honored to have been able to
do so, and I’m honored that The Other Guys trusted me to step outside of
a box and truly push the envelope with this. Enjoy, and remember, like
they told us in the 80’s: just say no." -Skyzoo https://otherguysmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-mind-of-a-saint
