This is quite good 'description' of his sound > "You can immediately tell an Apollo Brown beat from the first kick-drum. Horns and organs are sourced with the monkish discipline of a master digger with a superior ear. The drums are hard and nasty. The full effect blends sadness, depression, and tenderness with the savage ferocity of brass knuckles hip-hop. It’s fall music, somber relatable music, gray sky music that offers the unvarnished truth."
plus I like the artists he works with...OC, Guilty, Asia, Roc, Skyzoo and some that are still quite fresh and 'undiscovered' like Stalley and Philmore Greene ("Cost of Living" LP out next month)

Daily Bread has always been my favorite, beats on there are really something, and Hassan Mackey fits them well. Elephants is a top 5 AB beat for me, perhaps the best. Megaphone is also amazing.
Gas Mask and Dice Game would be #2 and 3.

Trophies for me. It's the album that really made me start paying attention to AB, but there are definitely a few that I like a lot. That said, I could go for some new O.C.

Big O.C. fan here and I'm still waiting for 3rd phase of his trilogy after "Same Moon Same Sun" and "A New Dawn" albums...something is't right for sure🙄

yeah what happened with slice of spice? that label was top notch and made really quality products and then they kinda just packed it up and disappeared. did they even release the last few albums that would create the d.i.t.c. logo on all those albums sidebars?
on another note, i don't why, but trophies didn't do it for me like that. maybe it needed some guests (cough cough smoke & mirrors cough cough), but something was missing on there for me. i like a lot of o.c.'s albums way better than that one.

Same here, like almost every other O.C. album is better than this one and far from being bad or anything, just needs some 'spice' on it. Dice Game >>> Thropies

The opening track on the Big Pooh album, Augmentation, is f**kin amazing and another top 5 AB beat for me. Second track is good too. The rest of the album, unfortunately, doesn't even come close. Probably like a 7.2/10 - but that first track is classic.
I also like The Reset, that was my first exposure to Apollo Brown. Bit more variety in beats on there, lots of different MCs too obviously. AB is so dope and is in my top 10 personal favorite producers ever. The description of his sound in one of the posts above is apt.
