This, Is Not That (LP)

DESCRIPTION

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 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, with Crimeapple’s wordplay dancing through it like grease sizzling in a pan, a reminder that even in decay, there’s beauty. This, Is Not That.
