Uh huh, this is Edgar Allen Floe right here
J Wheels
I’m about to take y’all where I reside at man
This is where I rest at
You’re about to witness greatness, check it
(Verse 1)
Yeah, welcome to NC where we show love
Got the most distinguished gentlemen
Plus our own thugs
Can’t be repping just one city
A hundred counties be getting busy
I’mma just glide statewide, yo you riding with me?
Grab shotgun now, and buckle up
Some grab the shotgun while you knuckle up
Unfair you say, but them young boys don’t play
Even OGs low key, hustling old and gray
In North Click, there’s two sides to Raleigh-Durham
One side hates visitors, and they probably hurt them
Other side takes pride in southern hospitality
Hunger pains, step inside the house and grab a seat
Somebody’s momma can show you the soul food
And even sip with you, even if she don’t know you
There’s so much to reveal and it’s about time
Shine Caroline shine Caroline shine
(Chorus)
You so fine, Caroline
Such a dime, Caroline
You so fine, Caroline
Share what’s mine, Caroline
(Verse 2)
Yeah, this is North Caro L-I-N-A
The freshest garments, stay fly all day
That’s Fayettenam shit, they don’t try to stay paid
They hit the target, bullseye, get cake
What up Wilson, they call it Wide Awake
You caught sleeping you could lie in grave
Danger, strangers decide to escape
Wrong turn, concern won’t hide from your face
When you in North Cack
Floe’s chillin’, Actionvillian
Is willing to hit him with skill and realism, feel him
They all feel me son, from here to Wilmington
when I used to hustle Undefined demos
Hell no, you ain’t holding me back my mellow
I’m changing the game like the four from Greensboro
So get in where you sit in and rep the whole team
I’m telling you mayne
Carolina’s walk is so mean
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
In North Cock-It-Back, a deeper meaning to that
More than bullshit at your party with notorious gats
Check it, worldwide they respect the athletics
Cocking back the basketball and hockey stick, best at it
It’s a habit that we won’t break and not up for debate
Even I got some high school varsity tapes
Highlights of my B-Ball highlife
Stayed on the rise right
Slam dunk, keep the fans eyes bright
In North Cakalak, you’ll get lapped around the track
Either sprinting or long distance contend for The Olympics
And college, of course UNC is the truth
But you can’t forget about our HBCUs
NC Central and A&T, something that you gotta see
Aggies vs Eagle is classic like this track is
She got it all, flyest you ever saw
This is Carolina homie, just thought I’d remind y’all
(Chorus)
(End)

Sardines is a highly valuable sequel of Anchovies. Great album and an absolute highlight in today‘s landscape of hiphop.
Strong contender for rap album of year!
I hope my copies of the anchovies special edition are shipped soon…
Can‘t wait to spin that! bandcamper1one
I grabbed this album for two reasons.
After hearing 'That Grit', I knew Hassaan was a beast on the mic.
Apollo is one of the two best Browns in the game today. Can't sleep on Kev Brown.
Anything Apollo Brown puts together is destined to be a soulful masterpiece.

WOW!!! It's been a long time since I've listened to an album and enjoyed EVERY SONG on it from START TO FINISH!!!! I chose PROVE ME WRONG as my favorite track but 6 other songs like THE FORMULA and People's Champ could have also been chosen as my favorite. I am going to buy two CD copies as a way to make sure I always have it in my collection. GRAND SALUTE to OC with the SUPERDOPE LYRICISM and APOLLO BROWN with the SUPERDOPE PRODUCTION. Michael Holt
Ugly heroes is one of my favorite groups of all time. For me Verbal Kent's voice is just euphoric, and then you have Red Pill on top of that?! It's amazing but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Their talent only shines through so well because of Apollo here and I love it. I listen to the album nonstop and it inspires me when i write my own shit. Michael Leonetti
