TRACK REVIEW: 90BRO – Apollo 90

If you like raw social commentary in the vein of Bob Vylan, this could be for you. With lyrics that at times are hard to hear, 90BRO tells a tale of racism from his childhood, overcoming his fears and questioning his existence in relation to his lineage. 

With trap music stylings, there is a brooding, nagging beat which pulsates throughout like a heart pumping with great strength and purpose. The hypnotic sound created by this Sunderland raised rapper, activist and spoken word poet acts as a counterpoint to the punch of the words he delivers. This is not a turn on, tune in, drop out kind of track. 90BRO wants you to viscerally feel his personal story.
