Apathy is a hip-hop artist from the USA. The Connecticut based emcee, who spent most of his life bouncing from place to place, first discovered hip-hop through Melle Mel’s verses on Chaka Kahn’s “Feel For You”, writing his own lyrics to match the track. By 1991, Ap started “taking this rap shit seriously”, and a few short years later, Ap made his debut on wax, appearing on three tracks on Jedi Mind Tricks critically acclaimed underground debut “The Psycho Social” LP in 1996.
But it wasn’t until 1998 that Apathy graduated from guest artist to solo artist. With an initial show-stealing verse on an Eddie Ill and D.L. freestyle, Apathy soon followed suit with several incredible solo singles including “Compatible”, “Just Begun”, “School”, and “Ain’t Nuttin’ Nice”, each released through Bronx Science Records. Linking up with Celph Titled, a former employee of Bronx Science’s distributor, Buds, Apathy helped form the Demigodz crew, which also included strong underground acts such as 7L & Esoteric, El Fudge, Louis Logic, Rise, Open Mic, and others.
After The Demigodz crew released their debut EP, “The Godz Must Be Crazy”, the major label bidding war began. Said Apathy, “Interscope was interested in Celph and I as a group. Jason McGuire and Jimmy Iovine flew us out to LA, rented us a vehicle, put us up in a bangin’ hotel on Sunset Blvd, gave us company cell phones and shit.
