Apollo Brown: Detroit’s own delivers with a hard-hitting Stranger Things anthem

Low-key? I have tapped into all things Apollo Brown for over 10 years - his productions and collaborations are always fire but something about when he goes into his solo instrumental drops like this ‘Stranger Things’ gem? My goodness.

Apollo Brown comes through with a repeat-worthy ‘Stranger Things’

There’s no Millie Bobby Brown this time around but still inspired by the hit Netflix series. How about AB coming through with his eerie but catchy new tune off his upcoming No Pressure, No Diamond album? Oh yes.

“When I finished making this beat, it sounded like my minimal interpretation of “The Upside Down”. 

I pictured the Demogorgon nodding its head slowly, getting ready to spit a verse. 

Hence, why I called it “Stranger Things”. Yeah, I can get weird too, lol.”

Apollo Brown - No Pressure, No Diamond

There are certain truths in life that are simple enough to fit into a few words, but powerful enough to shape entire careers. "No Pressure, No Diamond" is one of those truths. Four words that carry the weight of struggle, perseverence, sacrifice, pain, discipline, and ultimately reward.

We live in a world that loves outcomes, but often ignores process. We admire the trophy, but forget the training. We celebrate success, but overlook the sleepless nights. We applaud the finished masterpieces while paying little attention to the countless imperfect drafts that came before it.

Everybody wants the shine of the diamond, but not everybody wants the uncomfortable pressure and time it takes to create this most precious gemstone.

Think about that while you listen this album for the first time. The color isn't perfect. The cut is not close to symmetrical. The clarity might be a little cloudy. But, the process is tried and true.
