Off his lat­est musi­cal brain­child, The Reset, Apollo Brown deliv­ers yet another tri­umph in sonic pro­duc­tion. "Balance," nar­rated by emcees Kenn Starr and John Robinson, is an oth­er­worldly musi­cal com­po­si­tion. The beat cooks low and slow with an orches­tral bass line and swirls with syn­the­sized har­mon­ics that ele­vate the track to a unique fre­quency. "I really wanted this song to take the lis­tener some­where when they hear it," notes Brown. "Some peo­ple call it a dream­scape sound. It's just thought pro­vok­ing life music to me." The six­teen bar verses dropped by Starr and Robinson are well chis­eled mod­els of deft lyri­cism; how­ever, the prime cut from this beast is Brown's beat con­struc­tion that effort­lessly throws lis­ten­ers off bal­ance in this iron­i­cally titled track. "Balance" is up for grabs on Apollo Brown's album, The Reset.

After a crit­i­cally acclaimed orig­i­nal release, Long Beach native Sareem Poems is releas­ing an unusu­ally com­pre­hen­sive Deluxe Edition of his album Black & Read All Over. The Deluxe Edition will include all four­teen of the orig­i­nal songs along with instru­men­tals for each track. The album's most unique fea­ture, how­ever, might be its remixes. Sareem chose to remix the album's cen­ter­piece track, "Lower the Boom" not once or twice, but half a dozen times. Each remixed ver­sion of "Lower the Boom" was given a dif­fer­ent name, and each fea­tures a dif­fer­ent pro­ducer and new guest verses.

"Rude Awakening" is the first of the "Boom" remixes, and fea­tures typ­i­cally fan­tas­tic con­tri­bu­tions from DMV super-producer and Diamond District emcee Oddisee, as well as lyri­cal con­tri­bu­tions from up-and-coming rap­per DMV rap­per Kenn Starr. Released by Mello Music Group, the remixes sim­ply had pro­duced too much good feed­back for the label to keep them unre­leased. Michael Tolle of Mello Music Group sim­ply had no choice- "the pro­mo­tional remixes started com­ing back from Oddisee, Fabio Musta, and Nick Tha 1Da and gar­nered so much atten­tion, had so many peo­ple ask­ing 'what album is that on?' that we felt we had to re-release the project with them included. We really wanted to make it worth people's while since the project had already dropped, so we fig­ured we'd give peo­ple the whole pack­age." The whole pack­age is about to be deliv­ered. Watch out for dig­i­tal release of Black & Read All Over: Deluxe Edition, com­ing December 1 on Mello Music Group.
