Guilty Simpson's debut album, Ode to the Ghetto, is in the works, featuring production by Mr. Porter, J Dilla, Madlib, Oh No and Jake One. This 12-inch, the first single off the album, marks Guilty’s official Stones Throw debut on wax as a solo artist.
Both sides are hard banger, but the b-side wins again. This Madlib soul approved wierdo flip kills everything out of a groove that I heard in a while. This shit is mad(lib) ill!
The A-side features “Get Bitches,” a banging club anthem produced by Mr. Porter of D12. Guilty spews his characteristically hilarious and macho rhymes over a menacing track. The more light-hearted B-side, “She Won’t Stay At Home,” builds on a doo-wop sample as Guilty laments a chick that’s always in trouble.
Guilty Simpson was born in Detroit, the son and grandson of the family’s performing musicians in his father and grandfather. At age four, Simpson and his mother began traveling with an aunt in the military, living in California and Birmingham, Alabama, before settling back in the Motor City at 15. Big Daddy Kane, N.W.A, and Scarface were all major influences, but it was Queens-bred street bard Kool G Rap who made the biggest impression. “That’s my crème de la crème rapper right there,” says Simpson, his own presence among the latest in a rich lineage of heavy-handed MCs.
For years Guilty Simpson has been a rock on the Detroit hip-hop circuit alongside those such as J Dilla, Slum Village, Eminem (whom Guilty still calls “Marshall”) & D12, Obie Trice, Proof, Phat Kat and Black Milk. A member of the Almighty Dreadnaughtz crew, Guilty emerged as a sound to be reckoned with after linking with producer Dilla in 2001. In the midst of recording an album’s worth of material on the MC – including the recently released duet “Take Notice” off of Dilla’s heralded Ruff Draft album – Dilla gave Simpson his first appearance on disc with “Strapped” (from 2003’s Jaylib album).
2006 marked his allegiance with Stones Throw Records – at Dilla’s behest – and appearances on both Chrome Children installments and subsequent tour. It’s taken years, but finally Simpson’s full-length solo debut, Ode to the Ghetto, brings him worldwide, chronicling a life led in the rough-hewn city that birthed him.
