Trophies a fost lansat în data de 1 mai 2012, prin Mello Music Group.
Citat de pe https://apollobrown360.bandcamp.com/album/trophies:
"Trophies" is 16 tracks of mass appeal set in motion by two different
eras of hip hop's elite. Detroit producer Apollo Brown lays the
foundation, and the legendary OC constructs the vocals. Arguably, their
best album respectively, "Trophies" is straight to the point hip hop; no
frills, no preservatives, not even a single feature. Just OC at his
finest and Apollo once again commanding no disappointments.
Today's society is fascinated with "Trophies". Not just a shiny cup or
figurine atop a wooden platform, but the superficial earnings as a
result of one's recognition. Prestigious awards, fancy cars, nice
jewelry, and beautiful women, are all coveted "Trophies" of the present
day. They seem to be the preferred end result of our hard work. Everyone
NEEDS to be recognized for whatever their achievement may be, in order
to feel that he/she made a mark in this world. And in order for our
recognition to be proper, we NEED an award, or a material object to help
reassure us that we did something. But why?
Listen to the album. Enjoy the music.
Consider the real Trophies.
"I just heard OC & Apollo Brown's new LP and it's dope original shit - that hiphop for the people!" - DJ Premier
"This is exactly what I want... good beats... good rhymes... and a real niggaz perspective." - Dame Dash
