After dropping a couple leaks to the masses, Rapper Big Pooh and Detroit’s Apollo Brown return to our pages with their joint EP, Words Paint Pictures. At seven tracks (with two bonus remixes) deep, the soulful new project includes features from Ras Kass, Marv Won, our homie Lute, Blakk Soul and Novej.
The North Carolina MC captures the complex agonies of the human condition—specifically the black experience in America over the last several centuries. These are tales of racial profiling and corrupt politicians, reality TV distractions, thieving preachers and rapacious exploitation—all offset by tremendous strength. They are uniquely American stories, chronicling both the damned and hopeful. From bleak circumstances, a profoundly durable human spirit emerges.
