Episode #79: CRIMEAPPLE - New album "Aguardiente", building a brand as an extension of your artistry

This week’s guest is the New Jersey born and bred hip-hop artist CRIMEAPPLE. During our interview, we talk about his new album Aguardiente, produced entirely by Big Ghost Ltd (which was the Fresh Pick of the Week back in Episode #73), along with building your brand as an extension of your artistry and keeping your integrity when you career starts ascend. CRIMEAPPLE is definitely a part of the new era of hip-hop artists bringing a lyrical heavy, dark and grimy sound reminiscent of the early days of Mobb Deep and currently in the same vein of the likes of Roc Marciano, Westside Gunn, and Conway. An aesthetic where the product is heavy in artistry and culture. For this episode, CRIMEAPPLE chose one of his current collaborators Buck Dudley as a suggestion of someone to interview for Fresh is the Word.
