Today, Detroit producer Apollo Brown has announced his first new instrumental album since "Clouds" (2011). The new album titled Thirty Eight will be released May 6th, 2014 on Mello Music Group. Those who pre-order Apollo Brown's Thirty Eight https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/thirty-eight/id838614636 will receive the new single, "The Answer" as an instant download.
Apollo Brown's Thirty Eight is a contemporary throwback, inhabiting the realm of reverent reinvention and innovation. It deftly bridges the gap between '70s Blaxploitation soundtracks (e.g. Curtis Mayfield or Marvin Gaye) and the hip-hop records that sampled from them.
Brown enlists New York mercenary Roc Marciano for the soundtrack's two features. With the sharpest of eyes and the frostbitten wit of a Polo clad hustler slanging in the dead of winter, Marciano delivers his best verses in recent memory, his vivid narratives perfectly suited for Brown's soulful production.
Each CD http://www.mellomusicgroup.com/products/apollo-brown-thirty-eight-cd-bonus-5-lp comes packaged with 5" inch vinyl featuring the aforementioned Roc Marciano tracks. Quite possibly the first time a CD and 5" inch record have ever been sold together, cop yours before they're gone. For fans who desire the full analog experience, please visit http://www.mellomusicgroup.com/products/apollo-brown-thirty-eight-180-gram-lp-bonus-45 as they have also pressed up 180-gram vinyl. Each vinyl copy also includes a 45 featuring two bonus instrumentals.
Whether you buy a physical copy or download Thirty Eight digitally, don't call it a beat tape. With this project Brown has created an expansive cinematic composition for the theatre of your mind. Listen, envision, and enjoy the show.
