Long Live Mello Music Group
Apollo Brown is defintely continuing the musical spirit of the Late Great J Dilla in representing talented producers from The D. He is emerging as on of my favorite producers with his heavy snares and the creative use of samples. I just so happened to stumble on him while looking for music from his fellow Mello Music members Oddisee and Kev Brown. Mackey's delivery style matches the beat selection for most part, pretty well however I did find his lyrics missing some of the power I have heard from him doing freestyles or on other tracks. I was also would like to have seen a few more features like Ken Star who would have destroyed the beat on Megaphone or Higher. But overall I definitely enjoyed this album, happy with my purchase and will most certainly support Mello Music

Apollo Brown + Hassaan Mackey = Daily Bread[for Hip Hop]
Firstly, I'm a big Apollo Brown fan. The guy got incredible skills in making good music. Hasssaan, is a dope MC! I was glad when these two collaborated for a full LP.This album deserves full 5 stars. The beats are hard & banging... The lyrics are on point. Hassaan talks about what a normal person goes through in life, like day-to-day stuff.My favourite tracks are1. Something*****2. Dollar Bill Hill*****3. Elephants***4. Weak Won't Do****5. Trenches ft. Sean Born****6. Mackey's Lament***7. Megaphone*****8. Higher ft. Finale,9. Like a Diamond ****As you can see, I love the whole LP :) Support these brothers for giving us good music. Shout out to Mello Music Group for GOOD MUSIC!!! This is one of my 2011 BEST HIP HOP ALBUMS "PERIOD!" BUY IT!

That other MMG
Apollo Brown is the star on here to me. Clearly he's influenced by the greats of boom bap style production. Hassaan Mackey his a monotone voice but it works well over these beats with his. Weak Won't Do is very grimy sounding, hard and featurse some of Mackey's best work on this LP. It was my favorite track at first but fell second behind the heart felt track Something. A large amount of the beats follow the same formula but that didn't bother me too much. The only track I wasn't feeling was The Trenches. Sean Born drops a very lackluster verse. Is this album revolutionary? Nope. Is it a dope album that kept my interest throughout? Absolutely. This isn't commercial friendly, straight street. Evry Mello Music Group album I own has been enjoyable.

Fresh breath of air for hip hop
I consider myself to be a hip hop aficionado and I heard from a friend of mine to check out this album. I can say that this was likely my favorite album of 2011. The production by Apollo Brown was just sick. Hassan came through with the lyrics as well. What I liked so much about the album was that it sounded nothing like anything else that was coming out. Since this album I have purchased Brown Study and the Reset by Apollo Brown and they have both been great albums. He has a distinct sound that no other producers have and he works with new under the radar artists that are hungry and rap about real things, not cars and jewelery. For anyone that truly enjoys hip hop, I can guarantee that you will love this album.

A good album, the only problem was the bonus 7 ...
A good album, the only problem was the bonus 7 inch was not included.Contacted provider they were unsure if they could provide one with a 7 inch and suggested a refund.Currently weighing up options.Aside from that great album.

Keine Single die als Album verkauft wird!
Dieses Album hat durch und durch gute Lieder. Falls jemandem eins beim Reinhören ausm Internet gefällt, kann er davon ausgehen, dass die restlichen Tracks die gleiche musikalische Qualität vorweisen. Hier hat sich der Künstler wirklich um sein Album als ganzes Werk gekümmertWer auf soulige Vocals steht, gepaart mit knackig deepen Beats in 2000er manier, wird hier garantiert bedient.Viel Spaß
