A product of Wilmington, NC, Apollo (aka Andrew Rooney) is an artist who focuses on bringing the highest level of lyricism possible. Now living in Chapel Hill, NC, Apollo crafts hip hop that marries the moral conscience of underground hip hop with the hooks and commercial appeal of the most successful rappers. In the fall of 2008, Apollo was chosen as an inaugural artist for Vinyl Records, with whom he released The Architect in 2009. The songs on Apollo's first Vinyl Records release cover universal subjects – faith, aspiration, hope, and the power of music.
A true music lover, Apollo's sound culls from his rap heroes, as well as old-school soul, European house music, and top-forty acoustic and pop music, among many other genres. Most importantly though, Apollo's raps feature a compassion that is unparalleled in today's popular music.
If it's going to be more than just you on stage, hype man or not, you're considered a group. Go to the website below, we just posted the Entry Form. All of the details are on that page and on the form itself. Download the form, print it out, fill it out, and send it in. If you have anymore questions hit me up.
Alright, I got all the details on the Rap-Off for you. The good news is we were able to bump it back a couple of weeks to give the artists more time to prepare. Now the date is June 26th, it's a Friday. The location is the club at the corner of Millbrook and Lead Mine Rd. Raleigh, NC. It's the only building at that intersection, just go to the front entrance to enter. You perform your one song, industry or original beat, freestyle or written lyrics. I'm going to let you know now, the judges will do you right on originality points if it's an original beat. I can't say the same for an industry beat, but it won't make or break you if you come hard with everything else. You can check out more info and download the entry form in the next couple of days when we put it online.
There is a limit to how many rappers will be accepted into the show, same goes for audience tickets, so sign up early and tell your fans to get their tickets early as well. If you have any other questions just send us a message.
thanks for the friendship. A warm WELCOME to my circle of friends.

Hi there Apollo/Andrew Rooney first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!
