Hip-hop aficionados are, by now, quite familiar with Apollo Brown's talents, and it's pretty safe to say he's in a league of his own. In case anyone still questions this fact, though, just turn to his just-released, feature-packed album, Grandeur—it's a hip-hop fan's dream. The massive 19-track project features a who's who of hip-hop legends. Vinnie Paz, Oddisee, Ras Kass, O.C, Masta Ace, Wordsworth, M.O.P, and many more appear on it, and each get backing by legendarily warm, hard-hitting, soul-sample-led sounds. There's certainly a lot to go through in the work, but, for the sake of convenience, we've selected our four favorite tracks from the body of work below. If you'd like to check out the rest of the album, however, head to Bandcamp where where you can purchase it as well.
