Apollo Kids is the ninth studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. Guests on the album include several Wu-Tang members and affiliates, as well as Redman, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes, Joell Ortiz, and Game, among others.

Apollo Kids is the follow-up to Ghostface Killah’s R&B-oriented Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City and serves as a return to the characteristic “Wu-Tang Sound”. Ghostface Killah recorded the album at Red Bull Studios and Stark Studios in New York City. He conceived it as a mixtape for Def Jam after having partially recorded the Supreme Clientele sequel album and opting not to release that with the label.

Quote

They wanted Supreme, I’m gassing for them to do Supreme. But I caught them niggas real quick for their bread and then gave them Apollo Kids. That was gonna be called The Warm Up, but they was like, ‘Nah, I know what you’re trying to do.’ They caught on.
