Apollo Brown & Che' Noir is readying the release of a joint project that's set to arrive next month titled, As God Intended. As they inch closer towards a June release date, they've unleashed the first single off of the project titled, "Hustle Don't Give" ft. Black Thought. With Apollo Brown's crispy drums and clean soul chops, Che' Lingo and Black Thought bring their A-Game to the table as they swap bars.
"This joint is a favorite of mine, and it was also the last beat I made for the album. I love how Che’ comes at you from all different angles, and gives the imagery that’s needed in this game” Apollo told OkayPlayer about the song. “It was an honor to have one of the best to do it, Black Thought, on this record as well, giving his take on the grind.”
Quotable Lyrics
Wise and intelligent
I can rob a village while it's sleep
Even if I was blind with an elephant
Crime was like medicine
Now, watch n***as face a dub
With a razor judge
They still gave him time with no evidence
