CD Guilty Simpson – OJ Simpson

Released in 2010 on Stones Throw Records, OJ Simpson is the hard-hitting second solo studio album from Detroit emcee Guilty Simpson, produced entirely by the legendary Madlib. Combining Simpson’s commanding baritone and visceral street narratives with Madlib’s crate-digging loops and lo-fi funk, the album stands as a quintessential collaboration in underground hip-hop.

Throughout the record, Simpson balances gritty battle-rap prowess with surprisingly introspective storytelling. Key highlights across the album include:

• "Coroner's Music" – An album centerpiece powered by Madlib’s eerie, heavy-hitting production and Simpson's relentless flow.
• "Karma of a Kingpin" – A vivid, rise-and-fall narrative recounting the neighborhood figures of his youth.
• "Cali Hills" – A heartfelt, humanizing tribute honoring the legacy of the late J Dilla.
• "New Heights" and "100 Styles" – Hard-edged bangers showcasing raw lyricism and effortless hooks.

Featuring guest appearances from Strong Arm Steady and Frank Nitty, this CD release of OJ Simpson is a must-have for devoted fans of classic Detroit rap and Madlib's signature production.
