    Ugly Heros “Graves” | @ApolloBrown @redpillrap @BIG_VK1


    The Ugly Heros(Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent & Red Pill) dropped their first single today. They will be dropping a full length album 5/21/13 which you can pre-order on iTunes. Give the track a spin below.

    An Ugly Hero is considered a myth. Growing up, the heroes we saw in cartoons and movies were perfectly chiseled, intelligent, and had senses none of us possess. An UGLY HERO is the everyday blue collar individual that makes the world go ’round. These are the heroes that work hard all day, everyday to help ensure that the lives around them are taken care of, and do it all without recognition. They wear themselves into the ground and sacrifice vanity for family.

    Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, and Red Pill are UGLY HEROES.

    Ghostface Killah x Apollo Brown “Rise of the Black Suits” Video | @GhostfaceKillah @ApolloBrown

    If they formed a group: Brown Ghost? Apollo Face? The Brown Faced Ghost of Apollo? Maybe none of those. I dunno. Back to the topic at hand. Ghostface Killah and producer Apollo Brown have made The Brown Tape, which is a rework of the Ghostface and Adrian Younge’s cinematic 12 Reasons To Die (check out here). Oh, there’s a comic book too.

    Guilty Simpson x Apollo Brown “Truth Be Told” | @ThatSimpsonGuy @ApolloBrown



    Here’s a song off of an upcoming project I’m excited about. Their upcoming Dice Game is dropping on 11/13/12. A lot of good music hitting your ears this year.

    Two Detroit titans, Apollo Brown and Guilty Simpson, are joining forces for a collaborative album on Mello Music Group. The album is Dice Game and today we’re happy to share with you the first track, “Truth Be Told”.

    Unlike lightweight rappers “scared to face the reality of truth,” Guilty Simpson isn’t one to tiptoe around on the mic. “Truth Be Told” finds the Motor City rhymer bearing his soul over a slow-burning soul chop that is trademark Apollo Brown. Guilty’s usual ferocity is tempered by his introspection, reminiscing back to times when he was hustling and living fast but without direction. A sublime string loop gives Guilty’s monstrous mic presence center stage to tell his story, a specifically hood tale that is still widely relatable. Guilty punctuates his reflections with a worthwhile reminder: “You want change? It starts with you.”

    Setting the tone for what you can expect on the full length, “Truth Be Told” hints at mature music, fundamentally sound hip-hop seasoned with substance and experience. With a monster behind the boards and a monster behind the mic, this is a Dice Game you don’t want to miss. November 13th, mark your calendars.
