	Free EP: The Left – Gas Leaks	11.17.2010


	Detroit Trio Release Free EP In Conjunction With Highly Acclaimed Debut

The EP: Coming off the success of their debut album Gas Mask, Detroit trio The Left, made up of producer Apollo Brown, rapper Journalist 103, and DJ Soko, are treating fans with the release of a brand new EP -- for free. Gas Leaks is comprised of unreleased material from Gas Mask, and while Gas Leaks was initially intended for release prior to the album, the group explains, "we wanted to bring a shock value for this album since it is was highly anticipated and Gas Leaks just puts more value and credibility to 'Gas Mask'". Gas Leaks kicks off with the drum- and horn-heavy "Scared" as Journalist 103 kicks things off with, "You will now bear witness to the Left-ist movement/ So if you know like I know, step aside for the improvement." Apollo Brown continues to show off his own abilities, fusing soulful samples while DJ Soko compliments Apollo's work behind the boards with seamless cuts on the tracks "One Day" and "My Green," a track that starts off with sweet sounding melodies before quickly taking a turn to the gritty. So enjoy the Leaks, but don't forget – you'll need to grab your Mask for the best results.

The Background: The Left began as a simple phone conversation between two artists displaying mutual respect for each other's craft. Detroit staples Apollo Brown (Producer) and Journalist 103 (Emcee) turned the prospect of a couple random songs into an album considered by many tastemakers to be the best underground hip hop LP of 2010. Shortly after starting the album in early 2009, the duo brought in DJ Soko to provide cuts for the album and act as the official DJ for The Left's live performances. Gas Mask is indeed The Left's debut album, but the rookie producer Apollo Brown has certainly been accumulating accolades as of late. In 2008 he won the producer showcase at Scribble Jam. Then, in 2009, Apollo won the Detroit Red Bull Big Tune Championships and went on to the Atlanta Finals. In 2010 he signed with Mello Music Group and made waves with his scorching debut album, The Reset. Meanwhile, The Left's mic master, Journalist 103, is just as seasoned. Despite this being his first wide public display, he worked with the legendary Detroit emcee Proof of D12 before his passing.
