Monochrome is second single from L'Orange & Stik Figa's upcoming project, "The City Under The City"

The new single establishes the setting for the story of "The City Under The City" and shows movement from a monochromatic life into the colorful depths below the surface.

"As I wax poetic over past aesthetics,
craft a legend of a time before the apathetic.
Let’s start a tab. What will you have? Is that cash or credit?
How about a glass of purgatory with a splash of heaven?"

Red Pill -  Look What This World Did To Us

Club Remix - Kill Yourself

From the album "Dice Game"

About the album:
Someone once said that life's a gamble. Kinda like shootin dice in an alley. The risk is high but the gain is higher, and when it's all said and done, you hold your breath and collect your dues. W ith lyrics that grip like a handful of ones, and beats that hit like ivory on cement, this album is just that, a Dice Game.

Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson - I Can Do No Wrong

From the album "Lo-Fi Fingahz"

About the album:
Often referred to as The Grand Imperial, Gensu Dean may be Hip Hop's best kept secret. Dean utilizes a vintage SP1200 and a 7000+ piece vinyl collection to seamlessly chop beats and produce rugged tracks. Gensu Dean has produced for the likes of Royal Flush, David Banner, Ol Dirty Bastard (Wu-Tang), and Lord Jamar (Brand Nubian) just to name a few. His trademark sound has lead to cosigns from music industry giants such as Dj Premier, RUN of RUN DMC, and DJ Spinna. Dean's debut solo album features legendary artists Large Professor, Prince Po (of Organized Konfusion), Count Bass D, David Banner, Brand Nubian, and Roc Marciano.

Gensu Dean - Forever (feat. Large Professor)

from the album "Trophies"

About the album: 
"Trophies" is 16 tracks of mass appeal set in motion by two different eras of hip hop's elite. Detroit producer Apollo Brown lays the foundation, and the legendary OC constructs the vocals. Arguably, their best album respectively, "Trophies" is straight to the point hip hop; no frills, no preservatives, not even a single feature. Just OC at his finest and Apollo once again commanding no disappointments.

Today's society is fascinated with "Trophies". Not just a shiny cup or figurine atop a wooden platform, but the superficial earnings as a result of one's recognition. Prestigious awards, fancy cars, nice jewelry, and beautiful women, are all coveted "Trophies" of the present day. They seem to be the preferred end result of our hard work. Everyone NEEDS to be recognized for whatever their achievement may be, in order to feel that he/she made a mark in this world. And in order for our recognition to be proper, we NEED an award, or a material object to help reassure us that we did something. But why?

Listen to the album. Enjoy the music.
Consider the real Trophies.

"I just heard OC & Apollo Brown's new LP and it's dope original shit - that hiphop for the people!" - DJ Premier

"This is exactly what I want... good beats... good rhymes... and a real niggaz perspective." - Dame Dash
