APOLLO BROWN + CRIMEAPPLE Surgery (New Bonus Track)
About the new bonus track
Apollo Brown lays down big-band drums that feel both triumphant and worn with history, a groove that testifies rather than just plays. Crimeapple steps in with the measured cadence of a man who wastes no words, his lyricism sharp, reflective, and unflinching. Together, they craft more than a song—it’s a moment, a seamless blend of golden-era grit and modern finesse. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s something real, refusing to be forgotten.
When Apollo Brown and Crimeapple connect, it’s like old film grain under a projector—gritty, timeless. This album isn’t just boom-bap nostalgia; it’s a rebirth of smoke-stained bars, where Crimeapple plays both poet and philosopher, flipping bilingual manteca rhymes with a chef’s precision, stirring up the street grime and serving it with a side of sharp wit. Apollo Brown, as always, builds his beats like ancient architecture—dusty, soulful, and heavy with forgotten stories. These tracks sound like the cracks in the sidewalk talking back, the perfect companion for long nights and even longer thoughts. It’s a sonic novel, a street sermon, and Crimeapple’s wordplay dances through it like grease sizzling in a pan, a reminder that even in decay, there’s beauty.
