Cleverly disguised as a literacy teacher by day, A.P.O.S.T.L.E. transforms into a lyrical superhero for justice by night. His super powers include, a dynamic wordplay and vocabulary which he uses to masterfully conquer social issues, mass media, corrupt politicians, and sucka emcees all in a single bound. By joining forces with fellow superhero DJ Quest, this dynamic duo’s live performance is easily the most powerful Hip Hop stage show in the universe.
The new Album, Lyrical Activism features DJ Quest (Bulletproof Space Travelers), Viveca Hawkins, and fellow Heavyweight Dub Champion member Stero Lion. Lyrical Activism features beats by Etheric Double (Resident Anti-Hero), and was co produced by legendary producer Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Consolidated, MC 900 ft Jesus). The electro-dub-hop sound-scape is the perfect surface for A.P.O.S.T.L.E.’s intensity. He’s created a lyrical force field where materialism, misogyny and nonsense rhymes cannot penetrate. By contrast to the norm, listeners become engaged, informed and inspired. This leaves A.P.O.S.T.L.E. as the last man standin above a sea of mediocrity in a dying genre. 

With an extensive tour history around the US in festivals and clubs with his former band Heavyweight Dub Champion, this soldier has earned his stripes as a live show veteran. He has additionally cultivated undeniable name recognition in his hometown of Denver CO. for his work as a grassroots community activist, performance poet, ghostwriter, and performer. Recently A.P.O.S.T.L.E. relocated to the Bay Area to combine    all of these efforts into one project. Lyrical Activism is his definitive work that will definitely   be an underground classic.

A superhero’s work is never done. There will always be crowds to rock, microphones to rip and injustice to address. Whether it be the clubs, parties, festivals, lecture halls, classrooms or street corners A.P.O.S.T.L.E. will be there. He has stepped up to answer the call of the masses of Hip Hop fans that are eager for change. We have waited long enough, the time has now come

Apostle succeeds with tracks that bestow meaning as well as incorporate beats worthy of a club. But what sets him above many others in his genre is that he doesn't just talk the game, but actually gets personally involved. That authenticity alone makes Lyrical Activism worthy of a listen.

A fine line exists between annoying rants and worthwhile messages in the world of socially conscious hip hop. Apostle (aka Jeff Campbell) manages to march that line with only a few trips along the way, placing him among the more poignant and palatable of these message-driven artists.

Apostle's creativity spikes with relentlessly reflective political and social messages. On "For Revolutionaries Only," for instance, he spins lines like "From a mythical entity when national security and the military supremacy is the corporate dependency."

 A.P.O.S.T.L.E. wants us to "develop our mind through mental emancipation" and does this with personal stories, not grandiose big picture scenarios, knowing that change, real change, starts from within and how we choose to act or not act rests squarely on the shoulders of each and every one of us.

If you’re dying for something with a strong message and semi-throwback appeal, this is your man.

 With verses chock full of awareness and a splash of mysticism, APOSTLE’s lyrical ability is not suspect in the least. This man can transform borderline preachy into a “Whoa” moment faster than Weezy F. Baby churns out a mixtape.

 Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and Meat Beat Manifesto, which gives the album an electro, dub sound rooted in classic hip-hop energy. When it comes to the lyrics, A.P.O.S.T.L.E. is spitting what he has been known to spit for years.
