Ugly Heroes (Apollo Brown + Verbal Kent + Red Pill): Ugly Heroes [ALBUM]

An Ugly Hero is considered a myth. Growing up, the heroes we saw in cartoons and movies were perfectly chiseled, intelligent, and had senses none of us possess. An UGLY HERO is the everyday blue collar individual that makes the world go ’round. These are the heroes that work hard all day, everyday to help ensure that the lives around them are taken care of, and do it all without recognition. They wear themselves into the ground and sacrifice vanity for family.

Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, and Red Pill are UGLY HEROES.

Copywrite: Carbon Copy’s Phony Art Pub Scam [Album]

Before we even get to the music, got ahead and take a minute to appreciate the awesomeness of that cover art. Coming off an impressive release with his MHz Legacy crew, Columbus, Ohio emcee and underground veteran Copywrite turns into a one man band with Carbon Copy’s Phony Art Pub Scam ( a play on The Beatles‘ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band, duh). Copywrite pays homage to one of his favorite groups and albums of all time with this Beatles’ sampled release and premieres it right here for your listening enjoyment. Since you’d have an easier time clearing the vocals from the sermon on the mount than some Beatles samples, Copywrite is giving this one away for free via Man Bites Dog Records, get it below.

Oh No: Disrupted Ads [Album]

Following the acclaimed records of Gangrene (alongside the Alchemist) and the incomparably unique OHNOMITE, Stones Throw family member Oh No’s momentum is building by the minute. His next solo endeavor Disrupted Ads, is a collective musical vision thematically inspired by the usage of devious newspaper advertisements from yesteryear. These ads would disrupt public perception, making readers think twice about what they accepted as truth. Dr. No! intends to make you do an audio double take by melding bass rattling beats, soulful melodies, and hypnotizing synths into a mind bending album experience.

In the fashion which we’ve come to expect from Oh No, this is a blend of hip hop, funk, and electronic inspired fusion that are stirred in a seamless pot of head nodding, foot tapping perfection. Disrupted Ads boasts featured guest verses from Blu, MED, Ron Artiste, Souls of Mischief, Gangrene and more. He may be Madlib’s younger brother, but Oh No’s star continues to rise amongst the most impactful producers of modern hip hop.
