One of the best producers in the game right now.
One of the best projects this year.
Where is mm? He’s from Detroit too. Apollo Brown is a major hip hop producer. Mm is to busy being a pop star than a hip hop star. Apollo Brown would sell more records if mm is on the album. MM IS A DISGRACE IN THE HIP HOP WORLD. Go luck to apollo brown!
Thing is, Em doesn’t really represent the Detroit scene like that. He’s more into the pop rap side of things and even though he can spit some rhymes, his fan base is a much different audience than Apollo Brown’s fan base. Em is among the lines of Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Drake, in that people who like them tend to not like rap all that much. They just like those guys because they have singles bumping in the club or radio, or because they have some sort of notoriety out there.
This album is fire. Loved the beats. It takes you through the streets of Detroit. And all the emcees came through and brought their A-game. That Clear Soul Forces track is on repeat.
I’ve not even listened to it yet and I already know it’s going to be bananas. I’ve bought EVERYTHING he’s ever worked on, be it for himself or other cats. AB has been consistent since forever. He is an acquired taste though.
Apollo Brown is one of Hip-Hops Finest, I have never heard him make anything wack. AMAZING ALBUM!!!!
Apollo, Black Milk & Denaun Porter should collab. on a Detroit based production project, that’d be ill
Apollo brown is from Grand Rapids, not Detroit.
I love the idea of this Detroit record. This is how it should be done. I love that it’s 79 minutes long. Can’t lose is already my favourite song but this album is full of gems. If you like Apollo Browns work you are going to enjoy this
Apollo Brown used to work with Bronz Nazareth .
