Citat de pe https://apollobrown360.bandcamp.com/album/the-brown-tape:
arrated by The RZA, this is Ghostface Killah’s brutal tale of gangsters,
betrayal and one vengeful soul hunting the 12 most powerful crime lords
in the World. The Deluca's pressed Tony's remains into 12 vinyl records
- one for each member of the family. But little did they know - he
would return...
This project is a daring, full-length Crime/Horror concept album.
Executive Producer, and Ghostface Killah's longtime Wu-Tang Clan
collaborator, The RZA refers to the album as "groundbreaking" in the hip
hop genre.
Apollo Brown was asked to record an alternate album at the same time as
Adrian Younge created “Twelve Reasons To Die.” Keep in mind, the
legendary Detroit producer (Apollo Brown) was given access to Ghostface
Killah’s recordings and constructed beats around GFK's work. This made
the project one of the producer's most challenging projects to date.
That hard work has paid of as “The Brown Tape” is also one of the best
albums to date from Ghostface Killah or Apollo Brown. Cinematic and
nasty, this is Hip-hop at it’s most raw.
