(AllHipHop News) Detroit’s own Apollo Brown is set to release the new instrumental album Thirty Eight, but the Mello Music group signee says don’t call it a beat tape. The follow-up to 2011’s Clouds is being described as a bridge between Blaxploitation soundtracks of the 1970’s and Hip Hop records that used their samples.
