Apollo is here, both in word and deed, as the enigmatic five-eyed being dropped his debut album, "The Last Reset." At 35 minutes and 51 seconds, over 13 tracks, this project is a glimpse into the make-up of Apollo, his bounce-back ability, ambition, and lyricism.
Having made waves with his breakout single, "Long Time Coming," Apollo comes through with a raw, introspective body of work that solidifies his place as one of the most promising voices in hip-hop today. Designed to take listeners on an unapologetic ride into the depths of struggle, a high-octane journey to triumph, and a rediscovery of self, The Last Reset exemplifies Apollo's signature Southern grit and story craft.
From the start of the album, Apollo is letting it be known he has something to say. The project is marked by hard-hitting beats, soulful instrumentals, and razor-sharp lyricism, with songs like "Finally Over" and "Fifty" showing a striking mix of vulnerability and confidence. Yet Tapper's blend of amateur man-on-the-street reflection with high-energy delivery distinguishes The Last Reset from the pack.
"The Last Reset" is about starting over, leveling up, and leaving the past behind," Apollo says. "It's my story, my truth, and my reminder that no matter where you come from, you can always keep pushing through."
On "The Last Reset," Apollo made an album that speaks to anyone and everyone who has overcome a struggle and makes a case for his stake in a new generation of Southern rap greats.
