Apollo Brown is the new heavyweight in hip hop for me. Until about a year ago the guy Criticism me was completely unknown when I read a record review of its collab album Trophies "with OC in a magazine. Was rather unspectacular, something with in the way that one here rap music Golden Era Sound gets offered in high quality. Now I am certainly also always curious to new developments, but admittedly is precisely this sample-based sound still right up my alley and I will not get it probably so fast enough. My curiosity was so aroused. After I bought and heard the record, I was blown away. The productions of Apollo Brown simply surpassed anything I've heard in years. And above all without a loss. A full-length album with Kopfnicker sound. Herrlich. For me it was clear: this must be the album of the year. But I was probably a little premature. Because in the same year I read that Apollo Brown a collabo album with Guilty Simpson rausbringt which is for me one of the best MCs in recent years. And therefore exceeds Dice Game "for me personally Trophies" easily what it is just that I can find a bit more Guilty as OC. His voice and flow perfectly match the beats of Apollo Brown. And now Apollo Brown so bring out his next album completely produced. This time in the form of group Ugly Heroes, together with the two rappers Red Pill and Verbal Kent. Both rappers are for me new voices, but Apollo Brown album is for me now a must buy. And here hockkarätiges is offered again. The two rappers do a really good job. To rap their voices and their kind are highly complementary, so that no one stands out positively or negatively, something that often bothers me when groups when a rapper clearly stands out from the others. But really exists unit, and the lyrics also fit perfectly to the beats. Here Apollo Brown supplies (fortunately) nothing new. But simply re magnificent soul and jazz samples with powerful drums and bass. This sound goes off me just like oil. Absolute goosebumps. Conclusion: For me, again clearly a candidate for album of the year
