The old and new collide on Trophies with the timeless raps of O.C from the D.I.T.C and the super human beat maker from Detroit, Apollo Brown. If hip-hop were to pass out and start dreaming, this is the album that would be of been made in that dream. Thankfully dreams can become reality and with O.C and Apollo Brown linking up we have been given a glimpse into this sonic reality. The concept behind Trophies asks the question why we need to be rewarded in life by all these material things aka "trophies". They are not just talking about shiny medals and trinkets but also cars, jewellery, beautiful women..etc. In our society these things are all considered "trophies" and often become the reward we seek in our lives. The question is why do we choose to waste our lives chasing this false sense of reality? Personally I know most of you don't live your lives like that and more and more people are waking up, but for those that are still lost within that fakeness; it is a very valid question to ask yourself. While you ponder that listen to some of the highlights below Grab this album on itunes right now.
