5th Anniversary Edition Detroit producer Apollo Brown has made a name for himself as one of Hip-Hop’s most legendary new producers while maintaining a golden era sound. His production credits are a who’s who of Hip-hop greats from Danny Brown to Ghostface Killah, Ras Kass to Westside Gunn. Even Chance the Rapper used a pair of Apollo beats on his debut mixtapes. Known for bringing the best out of musicians, Apollo has a knack for making timeless classics. Brooklyn’s Joell Ortiz started on none other than Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label and built a huge buzz in the industry. He’s worked with legends like Just Blaze among others. He then signed to Shady Records as ¼ of the supergroup Slaughterhouse. He’s worked with Hip-Hop titans Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Akon, and Big Daddy Kane. Now the pair of Hip-hop luminaries have their first collaborative album on Mello Music Group. It’s nothing short of a masterpiece: Mona Lisa. credits released November 24, 2023 All Songs Produced/Arranged by Apollo Brown All Songs Written/Performed by Joell Ortiz Recorded by Tate McBroom @ The Village Caverns Mixed by Magnetic @ The Disc Mastered by Eric Morgeson @ Studio A Album Art by Joey Dion Graphic Design by Austin Hart Executive Produced by Michael Tolle 1.
