Appollo Valdez is one of the most vital voices telling hip-hop’s story in the Lowcountry of Charleston, South Carolina. He’s been a staple of the region’s music industry for decades, having released countless projects, including collaborative efforts with other musical acts.

 

Born on October 25th, 1982 in Summerville, SC, Appollo used music as his weapon of choice when it came to surviving the typical temptations that await a young black man in the South. Music allowed him to express himself freely, and create a robust perspective of his life and experiences. His dynamic lyricism and wordplay, paired with his forward-thinking, and fierce presentation, he’s consistently proven himself to be a formidable force unlike any other.

 

Throughout his musical career, he’s found a way to please both the backpacker fans and a much wider audience through savvy collaborations and lively performances. He’s blazed a trail for himself, that has yet to be replicated, and with each musical project he continues to raise the lyrical bar.
