I just finished listening to the debut release of AppolloEarBorne Music Enterprises . It's a compilation of the label's different artists. This label doesn't focus on only one genre of music; the styles vary from R&B, to jazz, rap and rock. There are eight different songs, from each of their artists. From listening to the sampler I believe that they all need a lot of work.

The first and second tracks are R&B songs; the artist names are Czarina and Kyym Mcknight . Their vocal skills need a lot of work and on top of that the songs were completely Wack. Track 4 is the best track on the album; it's a jazz instrumental by J. Savana - a very smooth and funky track. Koolad (track5), Aliasminds (track6), and OMG (track7) are the label's rap artists and they are in need of some much needed help. First of all the lyrics on the songs were wack, the beats were wack, and delivery was wack. Society Mugs is the name of the rock band, they sound like the only thing they're doing is making a lot of noise with the guitar. I think that all these artists need major work; more time in the studio is a definite necessary first step.
