Chad Bromley (born March 8, 1979), better known as Apathy (formerly Apathy the Alien Tongue) is an underground rapper and producer from Willimantic, Connecticut. He attended high school at various schools in Connecticut. He is a re-founding member and unofficial leader of the Demigodz crew. Apathy frequently collaborates with Demigodz members, Motive, Esoteric and Celph Titled, who frequently produces for him. He is also a member of the super-group Army of the Pharaohs (founded by Vinnie Paz from Jedi Mind Tricks) and the Connecticut crew Doe Rakers. His DJ is Chum the Skrilla Guerilla. At one time, Apathy was signed to Atlantic Records, however after being shelved for many years, he finally decided to leave.[citation needed]
He released his debut album, Eastern Philosophy, in March 2006 on Babygrande Records. Most of his previous underground work has been collected on two albums: the two-disc It's the Bootleg, Muthafuckas! Vol. 1 and Where's Your Album?!!. Apathy released another collection of his most recent works, Baptism by Fire, in January 2007. He has also criticized the overuse of Auto Tuning by artists like Kanye West stating, "You ain't a computer, you ain't from the future, and you ain't got a tumor, so why you do to your voice, shit to make it sound stupider" and the first time he heard vocals like that was on a Cher album in the eighties. He is in a group called Get Busy Committee
