Cost of Living by Philmore Greene & Apollo Brown

 

Philmore Greene and Apollo Brown's Cost of Living explores the harsh realities of inner-city life, dealing with poverty, violence, and the struggle to survive. Through Greene's authentic lyrics and Brown's cinematic production, the album delves into themes of life, death, and the search for hope in the midst of adversity. Ultimately, it serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.

This, Is Not That by Apollo Brown & CRIMEAPPLE

 

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. This, Is Not That.
