Apollo Brown and Joell Ortiz decide to release a remix for ‘Timberlan’d Up’ and add Royce Da 5’9″ and KXNG Crooked.
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, Skyzoo 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—and it’s nothing short of a masterpiece: Mona Lisa.
A few days ago the duo released the third and final single, “Reflection,†from Mona Lisa before it’s released on 10-26-18. On the eve of his first post Slaughterhouse release, Joell took time to reflect on the state of the music industry and touched on the Slaughterhouse split “took a sec to accept that next time I’m on the road, won’t be no Crook, won’t be no Royce, won’t be no Joe.â€
While Joell may no longer be able to count on seeing his Slaughterhouse brethren with him on the road, today he reconvenes with ¾ of The House for the “Timberlan’d Up†remix featuring Royce Da 5’9†and KXNG Crooked. “Timberlan’d Up†was initially premiered by Complex.
