Born Gregory Skyler Taylor in 1982 in Crown Heights, he grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant.[1][2] He was nicknamed Skyzoo by his parents after the Skyy disco song (his middle name is Skyler).[1] He began rapping at the age of nine and went on to work with producers Jay Dee and 9th Wonder, releasing several mixtapes in the hope of securing a record deal.[1] He lost to Jin on BET's 106 & Park freestyle contest, but went on to have tracks used as both the theme to ESPN's Whiplash TV and the soundtrack to a Guinness advert, and set up his own Custom Made Entertainment company.[1][3] He has also had a long association with North Carolina rap crew the Justus League, whom he was introduced to via his friend Chaundon, and who he describes as his "second family".[4] Jay Dee's death in 2006 prompted Skyzoo to pay tribute with the song "Sky's Last Donut".[1] He worked with 9th Wonder on his debut album, Present Cloud 9: The 3 Day High, which reputedly took only three days to record.[1][5] He also contributed to three tracks on the Hall of Justus album Soldiers of Fortune.[3]
He released the critically-acclaimed Corner Store Classic mixtape in 2007, and released a remixed version, including some new material, as a digital download album in 2008.[6] Corner Store Classic was rated 'XL' (4/5) by XXL Magazine.[7] In 2007, he stated that he had a second album ready, called The Salvation, but was waiting for a major record deal before releasing it.[8]
