Down here at the Tiny Mix Tapes editorial offices, there are couple things that can always make the bullpen giddier than a prom queen in a backseat; sometimes it’s the first day that Shamrock Shakes come back on the market, sometimes it’s Wrestlemania, but the one that really revs our engines is the rare day that Ghostface Killah releases a new album.
We usually have a week-long buildup of MC battles, recitation of lyrics, dancing contests, Mad Libs, a crazy-ass pool party, and of course, a “Best Pretty Toney” costume contest. It’s always a crazy time over here when we celebrate the career of Wu-Tang’s best MC, and this December 14 will be no different as we commemorate the release of Ghost’s new album, The Apollo Kids.
Details on the album (like a tracklist, who’s guesting, new vs. old material, or cover art) are very light, but, as huge Ghostface fans, we at TMT can promise that as soon as we learn anything (beyond the fact that it couldn’t possibly be worse than his last), you’ll learn something too!
