Apollo Brown & Hassaan Mackey – “Night Time”0
Posted by - In Music
Apollo Brown and Hassaan Mackey have collaborated again to record a new, bonus track called “Night Time”. It’s something to keep your head nodding while Apollo Brown hits the European roads with The Left and Oddisee. Listen and download.
Night Time starts with an Apollo Brown styled bluesy, soul sample before kicking into a straight forward, solid drum knock backed by strings – you know, the way we like our Apollo beats. The gravel voiced Hassaan Mackey seems to stroll into the beat so even toned you know he’s about to get raw with the story. “Another case of that Saturday Night Fever / Color me a dreamer / Cause I be watching hustlers in their Benzes and their beemers / Cuttin in the city streets or riding round with heaters / cause they don’t plan on N***as in the fam trying to defeat em / blowin out freedom”. From there the story just gets grittier. Apollo offers a nice sample based hook to compliment the narrative “always watching my back / after dark is when the drama start”.
