I'm a fan of Apollo Brown, so I was surprised that this release slipped past me upon its release. However, having heard and enjoyed a lot of his material, I don't think by not checking this out that I have missed a lot. A few of the beats sound really similar to some stuff from other releases, and not much pops out at all. 'Clouds' is fairly distinctive, but if you've heard a lot of his other projects, you could feel too much familiarity in the beats from Apollo. For example, 'Higher' is really good, but I really feel as if I've heard it before... Maybe it's a reused beat. The rapper, Hassaan, also spits similar lyrics to what was on The Left's 'Gas Mask', that Apollo produced, and he doesn't have that x-factor to make the 15 tracks reach the next level as a whole. 2.5-3 / 5.
