Apollo Brown: The Producers

Apollo Brown: The Producers

Coming of age after J Dilla passed, Detroit’s Apollo Brown has carved a legacy from gritty samples and an expansive artistic imagination. Working with Joell Ortiz, he taps into subdued production to evoke street-level menace (“Cocaine Fingertips”). With Skyzoo, Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine, he uses grandiose horns to frame luxuriant dope boy epics (“Basquiat on the Draw”). His range has made him a face of neo boom bap.
