Guilty of Digging Guilty Simpson

I don't know a ton about Guilty Simpson, except that he's signed to Stones Throw and he is in Random Axe with Black Milk. Anyone in a group with Black Milk gets major points from me, for real.

Guilty came out with his second album, OJ Simpson, earlier this year. It has some awesome production on it - very Dilla meets DOOM. If you like J. Dilla or MF Doom, there is absolutely no excuse for not listening to Guilty Simpson before. Straight up awesome. Although he doesn't necessarily have the same facility as DOOM's flows, Guilty Simpson's sort of sound collage production really evokes a similar mood. Experimental hip hop for sure.

Here are some of my favorite tracks from the album, along with a J. Dilla remix of Four Tet's excellent "As Serious As Your Life" that features a couple verses from Guilty Simpson. Guilty references the track in "Cali Hills," which you can also check out below. I highly recommend Guilty for any heads looking for a new fix.
