Jackie Robinson's story is being told via a new documentary, with a decidedly Hip-Hop spin, courtesy of Brooklyn's own Skyzoo. Jackie Robinson: Get to the Bag is a Fox Sports film that uses the voices of multiple generations to tell Robinson's legendary story in a unique, fresh way.
Throughout the documentary, Skyzoo delivers Jackie's story with rap perspective.
“Initially, it was just one song, an acapella that we wound up putting some strings and things behind,” Skyzoo said in an interview with HipHopDX. “And then the project grew and they needed more music. So when it became a full-fledged documentary, Vic came back to me and asked me to make some more music and he said, ‘Pretty much it’s kinda like a Hamilton thing, where you’ll be rhyming from the perspective of Jackie Robinson,’ which I thought was obviously really unique and really different and really cool.”
