Apollo Brown - Night Moves

It's in this rarefied air where you'll find Detroit's Apollo Brown, constantly conjuring fresh innovations out of a tried-and-true formula. For the last decade, the Mello Music Group artist has singularly re-defined and expanded the foundation of what boom bap production can sound like. No less than DJ Premier declared the latter "hip-hop for the people," naming "Trophies" the best album of the year. He makes music for old and young heads-bone bruising beats that summon visceral images of back alley brawls in '81 pool hall melees and metropolitan griminess.

Tracklist:
1. Aquarius
2. Night Moves
3. Opulence
4. Moon at Midnight
5. Hold On
