- Detroit's grittiest producer, Apollo Brown, is back with blue collar rhyme writers Red Pill (Detroit) & Verbal Kent (Chicago). The new story lays bare the kind of truth that makes art great. Pill dives into family that left him behind while Verbal digs into forgiving the man who tried to kill him, the ex who tried to kill herself, and the friend who broke in. Director Andy "Orange Cap" Miller adds his own unique vision including a surprise epiphany at the end. Raw, honest, and profound. Ugly Heroes
premiered at Red Eye www.redeyechica...

About the album
Few things are more ugly or heroic than telling the truth. Life is often bleak, brutal, and over all too swiftly. Leaders are corrupt. Job prospects are limited. Cigarettes and shots of gin rarely lead to a peaceful finish. But between the lunacy and squalor, there exists those who make it all worthwhile: family, friends, and ruthlessly honest artists who remind you that you aren’t alone, shedding light on those dark nights of the soul.
As Michigan’s anti-Surgeon General, Red Pill quips: “We may not be the heroes this world needs, we're definitely not the heroes this world wants, but at least we're here.” His partners in Ugly Heroes are Chicago MC Verbal Kent, and Detroit producer Apollo Brown. Their sophomore Mello Music Group release, Everything In Between, offers diamonds of wisdom amidst the existential dumpster fire.
It’s been said that if you go down deep enough, past the personal, you eventually reach the universal. Ugly Heroes embody that axiom, unraveling their own stories, self-doubts, and bouts with depression to arrive at something as profound as it is vulnerable. Apollo Brown warps soul music and bayonet-hard drums, creating a singular form of soul-coughing dirty-sky symphonies. Levitating boom-bap for the 21st Century.
“Have you ever figured what you’d be like in a few years…why don’t you look ahead” A cinematic voice opens up “Today, Right Now,” with these words, doubling as a manifesto for things to come. Just as quickly, a voice retorts, “ah, don’t preach at me…as if you can tell what you’ll be like in a few years.”
The back-and-forth distills the questions at the core of the record: What will my future look like? How can I repair myself? What gives my life meaning? What do we do in a world where the right answers are frequently hidden and the wrong answers are all too obvious?
Red Pill, Verbal Kent, and Apollo Brown refuse to offer simple solutions, but instead created a life-affirming record with a dark undercurrent. Red Pill calls us “rational cattle” one moment, while Verbal half-jokingly insists on the importance of “grabbing the bull by its arms” in the next. They’re artists and brothers and fathers grappling with the impossible: how to extend the good moments indefinitely, how to eradicate the bad ones to protect themselves and the ones they love.
They might harbor the suspicion that the past, present, and future might all be the same, but they understand that acts of heroism are often found in minor gestures. In a frivolous world, Ugly Heroes prove that talent will always reign supreme and honesty can never become obsolete.
Sounds Beautiful Like The Truth

Love your beats .... let me on one
Somelse know the name of that violin sample?
It's hard to forgive
[Verse 1: Red Pill]
Sent you a Christmas card the other day
And I admit I kept it short, I don't know what to say
I haven't seen you, haven't spoke, and I don't know you
To the point I even question why I wrote you
And I honestly
Maybe I was just too young to understand
But 15 years and you don't call, you just a grudgeful man
And I don't really know what dad did
But what the fuck it have to do with your grandkids?
I even tried to talk to my cousins
They didn't answer either, I'm just talking discussion
I'm not saying you gotta be in my life
But just a little explanation, man you owe me that right?
I still don't get it and I never will
You getting older, bout to find out how forever feels
Not trying to say it's okay
But a grudge will be the only thing you'll take to your grave
[Hook: Red Pill]
It's hard to forgive, it's hard to forget
Can't even remember just who started this shit
The longer it last, the harder it gets
To say that I'm sorry
Yeah it's hard to admit
It's hard to forgive, it's hard to forget
Can't even remember now who started this shit
The longer it last, the harder it gets
To say that I'm sorry
[Verse 2: Verbal Kent]
I watched a man who tried to kill me celebrate in court
His lawyer put his hand out like what are you waiting for
High five it
Had an ex ask me if I knew what cutting was, she showed me
"You better never ever ever leave me", is what she told me
Another friend of mine, looked up to him when we were kids
He started smoking crack and then he broke into my crib
It wasn't personal, that had nothin' to do with me
That's the thing that ties it all together, see none of it did
So I forgive you
Because all the pain you try to blame on me was you protecting yourself (from yourself)
I forgive you
It couldn't been anybody, in fact you probably looked at me and saw yourself
So I forgive you
Because my worst day ever, is every fuckin day of ya life
So I forgive you
Because I have a feelin' that I had nothing to do with how'd you have lived your life
What's it take to get a shot at it, once if ya will?
Why was this beat changed
Copyright
Por que cambiaron el beat ??
Am I tripping or is this a different beat??? Like a swear three years ago I got a different vibe for something from this....
Edit: Spotify has this beat too. I wonder why they Apollo flipped it?
It's the same beat.
Nah bro they swapped the beat about a year ago
The original is on Dailymotion
It was changed due to copyright on the original sample
Anyone knows the lyric??
Anyone know why they changed the original beat? The track on my CD has a different beat. On god.
