Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Mich., Apollo Brown has created a name for himself as the go to producer that has that classic throwback sound circa mid 90’s with his own unique twist. Inspired by albums like Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage and production from greats like Dilla, Pete Rock, and Premier, he’s committed to keeping the boom bap vibe alive and thriving. He’s produced tracks for Little Brother, Finale, and is the man behind the phenomenal “Contra” by Danny Brown and eLZhi. With two instrumental albums (Skilled Trade and Make Do) and a Detroit Red Bull Big Tune championship (2009) under his belt, 2010 saw the release of his first album with Mello Music Group, The Reset. With emcees like Finale, Ken Starr, Grap Luva and others on the mic, Apollo steps to the plate to make this collection of remakes one of his best yet. MiHH had the opportunity to catch up with Apollo Brown as he breaks down how garbage his studio set up is, meshing his skills behind the camera with his skills behind the boards, why he will never be an emcee, and the abundance of upcoming projects he’s readying for the rest of the year.
