HaLo
HaLo Heat Writer II IWWMG/Jamla • 2011

Slowly and efficace, with a clear pronunciation and trademark hissing fricatives 's', HaLo's voice is a pleasure to listen to.

Mr. Brady
Mr. Brady Because I Felt Like It Brady • 2011

Because he felt like it. Not because Mr Brady needed to. Not because some record company urged him. Just because the San Diego producer/MC wanted to himself. Just like that, at his own pace, at his own wishes. Aaah…independent artistry!

Boog Brown & Apollo Brown
Boog Brown & Apollo Brown Brown Study MelloMusicGroup • 2010

Not related to each other, but both from Detroit, rapster Boog and producer Apollo Brown team up for a study in brown. After Boog Brown moved to Atlanta, she kept in touch with the Motor City and contacted up-and-coming producer Apollo Brown. Really, she couldn’t have picked a better producer to spotlight her debut full lenght, following 'The Grind Season vol 1' mixtape.
