biographical info
The self-titled album would fall under the category of Rap yet fans of funk, jazz, R&B, reggae and heavy metal will not be disappointed. Looking for strong home hitting lyrics? I Train My Troops for War, Real Gets Real and Hook Line and Sinker as well as many other songs on the album, convey a strong politically aware and socially conscious message.A natural performer since high school days, Apex can hold down the stage. He has many shows behind him in TO and surrounding areas whether with the Hip Hop act HBC (Heavily Blunted Crew) or as a solo act. Apex has a stage presence that commands attention, with hard-hitting lyrics and aggressive stage presentation. In the summer of 2003 Apex performed several shows around Toronto and played over 6
shows for Molson Canadian Rocks "Battle of the Bands", where he won a peoples choice award and gained much respect throughout the Toronto music and Hip Hop community.
Big things are on the rise for this home made Canadian artist, in 2004. After his official CD Launch party held at the 360Club Toronto April 29th of 2004, Keep a close watch out for Apex, his politically conscious Lyrics, highly orchestrated music and tenacious stage presence tearing up a concert hall or club in your town.
