About The Album
Recorded and produced in Detroit, “The Easy Truth,” is the perfect distillation of hiphop influences. Every moment on the album is a loaded question, a perspective positing a notion of truth, the convergence of grit and symphony.
Joining the artists on the record are Joell Ortiz, Westside Gunn, Stalley, Conway and Patty Crash, a reciprocal band of guests that only add depth and richness to the duo’s chemistry. Coming September 30th, “The Easy Truth,” is true to its titular description: honest, fluid, and organic.

Sounds Beautiful Like The Truth
When it comes to hip hop this is all I ask for ...good music, lyrics I can understand, and smooth ass beats.
Simple request!
agreed
Yup, it ain't that complicated.
makes life better
exactly my man
This melody is like hip hop therapy
ahhh,, you never knew?
Apollo Brown's beats are like God's blessin', mad respect!
"If I'm making something that doesn't have feeling then I'm throwing it away 'cause it has to take me somewhere. It has to be kind of like a backdrop for reflection." -Apollo Brown
Ahtnamas2 I never knew he said that but I've thought the same thing any time I listen to his shit.. can feel it too strong
FACTS.! BROSKI
This is one of those features I didn't see coming... Skyzoo × Joel Ortiz Geeeeese🔥🔥🔥
Skyzoo, not Kendrick, is the role model for hip hop right now. Probably one of Apollo best beats.
I fuck with Kendrick but they are completely two different styles of rap tho. Kendrick is Westcoast & Skyzoo is N.Y. boombap rap.
Agree …he brought the “feelin” back…Kendrick is cool on a commercial level …honestly to me he’s highly overrated…..but he’s dope ….this something specific right here …this is that stuff that touch your ribs….
Agreed.
This ish deserves way more views. Been a skyzoo fan since day 1. shout outs all the way from South Africa
Simply one of best hip hop tracks of the 2010s. Sky killed this.
This masterpiece should have some millions views up to now... The full album is a true diamond ..diamonds are forever! Hip hop is not my favorite but pay my respect to these guys.Very emotional
Joell 🔥🔥🔥with the NY truth inside the skillful wordplay, if he wouldve dropped in the '90s he'd be as celebrated as BIG and Pun💯
Apollo always diggin into ur soul with those beats,crazy.
One of the greatest of all time for me.
Video is tight... I'm loving this album right now... this is what's needed. Skyzoo/Apollo Brown/Conway the Machine/ Westside Gunn/Planet Asia/Meyhem Lauren/Action Bronson/Alchemist/Black Milk/etc.... keep this sound in rotation..... let the sheeple keep their noise... this is for us!!!!
been listening to this track in London almost every day. lyrical content and melody are on fucking point! real hip hop for real hip hop heads.
Got damn..Apollo is 1000% top 5, if not the #1 producer of right now. I'd say he's in my top 5 of all time. That's a difficult list to narrow down to just 5; there are probably at least 20 who are damned close to top 5 of all time status, in my book. But Apollo definitively gets in my top 5 list of all time bc I don't think I have _ever_ heard a track of his that I don't absolutely *_LOVE_*
I luv the route Ortiz took after Slaughterhouse...he is a fiend for lo-fi and boombap. Hip-hop is slowly and surely going back to the roots. Shout-out to Skyzoo and Apoll Brown for holding the lamp.
Two criminally underrated MC's killing shit. Still dope in 2019.
2023❤
Dam this beat gives me goosebumps.. Skyzoo and ortiz murdered this track, but I expected nothing less than poetry on a soul grooving cadence..
Glad this isn't mainstream....Real people like real music
their was a time for mainstream but for awhile its been trash
This is how Hip Hop is supposed to be !
This combination is gets the knockout. Tuff Work Sky, Apollo, and my man Joel
Honestly one of the best beats I have EVER heard in my life and I am old school. I ain't a MASSIVE Zoo fan. But I can't really think of many that could of rode that beat better than him in this moment. You could tell it hit his soul fully and he went ALL the way in!!!
The man knows how to perfectly blend synth and classical instruments! No mistaking the Apollo Brown sound
this could have been a classic in the 90's
it is a classic from 2016
Love this track man....Skyzoo and Joell make a good duo...kinda like him and Torae when they did Barrel Brothers LP....This is the Apollo I love too....Skyzoo is a lyrical wizard and when it comes to picking beats he's got a good ear
Album of the year. With substance like this how can people listen to the BS that be comin out
I wonder.
Eric Qualley more & more i listen 2 this album the more i agree wit what u said b.i still got a slight edge 2 torae & masta ace albums,but that may change.✌
+southjerseysfinest 💯💯💯
+Eric Qualley Word! And then some people act like J. Cole is the only person capable of making songs with any substance.
The Underground is where the quality is,J.Cole is good in comparison to his peers in the mainstream....he would be much further down the line in the underground circles though.....hip hop is alive if you know where to look.
this is what we miss, music for the soul
These two together will make a dope Super Group. Both have experience with making collab albums. Both from BK. It has to be done.
Joell's verse fucking impresses every damn time!
I'll admit.. for YEARS I slept.. on Sky.. not saying I didn't recognize he was nice.. but I was napping on the boy... Thank you lawd for opening my ears and delivering me the real! Albeit there will be another old me that will come into this thread and hit the snooze button on these juggernauts of rap
When I really want to exercise my mind and expand my vision I go to the underground. This entire album was literally breath taking. I pray we get a part 2.
No major pages are gonna say it...but Apollo Brown is on Madlibs level of production in the game in terms of just creating tracks for lyrical rappers, you're guranteed to have allllll gold if you're doing an album with Apollo, truly one of the greatest to ever live
Such a good artpiece everything is perfect the video,the beat the lyrics...Skyzoo a real artist of our time period.
Man, this is Hip-Hop.
Khristian Peel nigga this shit ass!! 🥵
@@PiLLO360 It's not your fault your momma raised you on Nicki Minaj, now all you know is shake yo ass music.
Dan The Man I’m a dude.
That’s what I’m saying it’s 2020 I’m just now hearing about dude he nice 🔥🔥
This dude should be a superstar. He's definitely the best hip hop artist out NYC in the last 10 years.
still my favourite song passed 5 years// !
FEELIN' this. How can ANYONE who listens to hip hop not? Flow.
Skyzoo NEVER disappoints!!
still listen to this daily, feel good hip hop, not enough of this, anything Apollo brown touches is gold. best part is you need to know, to know, grown music.
When your 2 favourite hip hop artists and your favourite producer make a song.., just pure pure hip hop.
Apollo browns to underrated but as long as he keeps making music it's all good
Apollo Brown is a BEAST! The production is beyond amazing! Sky and Joell bodied it too! Dope ass album

SKYZOO IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RAPPER AND SO IS JOELL ORTIZ BC OF GTA 4 AND THEY LITERALLY MADE AN SONG TOGETHER? IM LOST OF WORDS.
The last time I heard this song was in 2016. Even today (2024), it's still hot🔥
This joint is like an anthem a sound track to my life
Heatrocks... Respect to all involved.
this is what hip hop is supposed to sound like, just beautiful..apollo brown productions is always stellar, while skyzoo is one of the most skillful and underrated mc's..joell killed it as he always does.
don't even need bars over apollos shit his beats tell a story in them self.. something else man that's why I rate him as the best
Easy Truth
One of the best albums i heard in the past few years, so underrated.
The string instrument(s) used on this beat...spot on. It only elevates this song to another level.
Dope beats and dope rhymes now what more do you want.
Unbelievable this is some of the best flow I've heard. 2nd to AZ, Skyzoo's rhythms sticks in my head all day.
Favourite track off the album. Sky and Joell are both monsters on the m.i.c. It doesn't get any better than this right here.
