In Cleveland by way of Detroit City, i'm in my second childhood. I go by the moniker of Apollo Brown. I produce songs, not "beats". I'm not a fan of commercial music, can you even call it hip hop anymore? I love grittiness in my sound, a little static is even better, and I firmly believe that the starving artist is the best artist. Creating habitually good music for about 8 or 9 years now, I've seen alot, heard alot, met alot, and haven't been impressed with alot. It's just me and my ear, my ear and my music. I've produced for alot of cats who's names i'll leave blank for now but currently working on some Producer/Emcee collectives around the way in and outside of Detroit. I concentrate on making the type of sound that "I" like, the sound from my favorite era of hip hop, 1991-1996. In my 28 years of age, my mood changes, and I create whatever comes to mind. I don't have much to say so I speak through music that I call "wordless testimony". Whether grimy, hard, or feel good music, my shit is gonna speak to you. And 10 times out of 10, you're gonna wanna speak back in some way, shape, or form. Yeah, I guess it does sound cocky, but being that I'm my number one critic, I guess i'll hold the title as being my number one fan. I like to sample any and everything that grabs me. I like to chop, cut, and filter samples to make my own melodies. I hate "keyboard beats" with a passion! I make music to incite the scrunch face and the natural headknod motion, NO, I don't want you to dance. I make music to provoke the talented MC's thought process, not his woman's new 2 step. Everyone is so concentrated on money and material now days, they forgot about "movement". Take it how you will. What about good music? Substance? Talent and hard work? Back to "The Vintage Movement". I'll show and prove. Enjoy... Need to hit me up? 24caratbrown@gmail.com

Here is a taste of what to expect from the producer
showcase, if you never seen a beat battle, the Monthly Mixer is a Must see
event. This was taken from our Sweet 16 battle in april.
Im actually coppin it now on the iTunes store while bumpin some Without Jan from Skilled Trade..haha. But yea, I'll be on the lookout with the 3rd eye for that..Just keep us all updated bro. But like I said, if you can put that track on your page..I would appreciate it, and im sure alot others too. Dilla has to come down from the clouds and pat you on the back for that one bro.
Thanks for some of the best songs I could ever vibe to. I dont know if it would be possible, but to post up that We Almost Lost Detroit joint. Ahh man, that track works wonders.
