RAPPER BIG POOH & APOLLO BROWN – WORDS PAINT PICTURES (ALBUM STREAM)

Rapper Big Pooh and Apollo Brown join forces for the 9-track Words Paint Pictures EP. Check it out in its entirety with features from Ras Kass, Marv Won, 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.
