New Hip Hop album review by Blacksheep Magazine | Apex Zero "Reality Provoking Liberation"

British publication Blacksheep Magazine has a long history of reporting on international hip hop & rap music news, events, releases & features.

Their regular contributor Andrew Kay took several listens through the new album by London's Apex Zero. Out on 28th October, "Reality Provoking Liberation" is his debut solo album, although has released a previous mixtape in 2012 "The Pulse of the Awakening" and was previously known as part of the duo First and Last (still going strong) and the group The Pantheonz of Zenn-La.

Coming up through London events such as End of the Weak & Speaker's Corner, and as part of these groups, he became known for his lyricism covering a wide range of political and social issues combined with a fiery delivery style. The review touches upon this in "The anger and the passion command every verse enabled by some wonderfully fluid production", the production in the large part also courtesy of Apex Zero with further contributions from First and Last's OMeziah

With comparisons of the "social commentary" made with artists such as Public Enemy, Immortal Technique and Brother Ali with a "rich London and UK centric vibe to it" the review then proceeds through a track by track breakdown, summarized as a whole with the description "an album of reportage, a war report from the tower blocks of a stark, cold Big Smoke, where social injustice and human enslavement are commented upon with the fist pumping ire of a frustrated humanist."
