He was nicknamed Skyzoo by his parents after the Skyy disco song (his middle name is Skyler). 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. He was beaten by 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. 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". Jay Dee's death in 2006 prompted Skyzoo to pay tribute with the song "Sky's Last Donut". He worked with 9th Wonder on his debut album, Present Cloud 9: The 3 Day High, which reputedly took only three days to record. He also contributed to three tracks on the Hall of Justus album Soldiers of Fortune.
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. Corner Store Classic was rated 'XL' (4/5) by XXL Magazine. 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.
He cites as influences hip hop artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Nas, N.W.A., Big Daddy Kane, and Kid 'n Play, as well as artists such as Sade, Nirvana and John Coltrane, and cites Coltrane's A Love Supreme as his favorite album. He credits J Dilla as his biggest inspiration and favorite producer. He has been critical of the direction that Hip Hop has taken, stating "People are taking the 'whetever we gotta do' method, resulting in gimmick records. I'm about making money but it has to be with dope records".

All Day Always
Skyzoo Lyrics
All day, always
All of us is for it
Ain't a song change
All the shit we saw is what we all became
And we all that we got 'long as the song plays
We hung out in front of the corner store
Got older and took it to the liquor store
Money low, so bet we wanted more
Only way we'll separate is how we pick the course
Of course we, know where we belong, we
Nowhere next to home but won't be long until we home, see
Know that when we home we putting on where they can all see
Know that they'll adore how we adorn so as long as we
Loaded up with cargo, whichever way the car go
The outcome's a murciélago
Mercy upon anyone feeling mercy at their heart tho
My outcome's a merciless God flow
God be with us, a R&B bitch is enough to inspire us
And we Dej Loaf for that loaf if they comfortable trying us
See, baby it's easy to adapt to what you be around
Being next to A' is why my aim will never see the ground
Being next to Bro is why you know we all or nothing right?
Being next to Mel we never fell, we never cut the lights
Being next to Paesoes
Was GQ and Bishop before their hiccups
'Cause loyalty is nothing you can pay fo'
Love him like brother, that man there like my brother
And if it ever should come to it that man would let a K' go
So going for advancement is the root we would stand in
Scared of being dormant so, we grew with our hands in
Hands put together, all the prayers people sent us
Saying don't believe the hype, don't grow up to be a nigger
Don't grow up and become a typical nigger while you here
Like who you with every day, leave them niggas over there
What, damn, I feel funny even saying that
That word is foreign and my friends could never make me that
Duly noted if needed but know it never will
Easy to adapt when you around whatever's real
