London’s Apex Zero released his debut solo album Reality Provoking Liberation on 28th October and has received a highly impressive international media response, including a 4 star review in the current issue of MOJO Magazine

There’s been a real appreciation for the political and social issues addressed by the young emcee, combined with his trademark energetic delivery style and conscientious lyricism. The latest release from the largely self produced album is the new single “Absolute Zero”. A regular favourite with reviewers with its fierce flow and driving beat, the video was launched today, filmed by Global Faction.

Apex celebrates the release with his re-arranged album launch party happening on Saturday 7th December upstairs at the Vibe Bar, 91 Brick Lane, London E1 6QL. Showcasing tracks from the LP with a live band, there will also be performances by Caxton Press & Iron Braydz, with Itch FM’s A Gee on turntable duties. The night runs from 8pm – 1am with all details available from www.vibe-bar.co.uk

We said that the debut solo album by London’s Apex Zero was one of the biggest for UK hip hop in 2013, and it appears that the internationally renowned publication that is MOJO Magazine would agree.

In their current edition celebrating their 20th anniversary, they have afforded “Reality Provoking Liberation” a 4 star review, describing it as a “DIY stunner” which will have “Fans of Triple Darkness, Dead Prez and Immortal Technique piqued by the arrival of fresh political rap blood”

It’s been a key underlying factor in the level of media interest created by the album from the rapper & producer, the mix of political and social issues addressed with a fierce delivery and conscientious lyricism, once a standard for the genre but a rarer entity in recent times. But green shoots of recovery are evident in releases from both sides of the Atlantic in the past couple of years, and Apex Zero has emerged as another new name adding his own weight to the re-establishment of the anti-establishment.

The album is out now, available to buy in digital and CD format HERE
