Dedication 2004, Destiny, Big Booties from 'The Undeniable LP : Detroit Edition' CD/LP 2003 Barak Records Que D - Supa Shit 12' single 2003 (Royal Flyness) Royce Da 5’9. (Afrob & Samy Deluxe) - Komm Schon from 'Wer Hatte Das Gedacht. Some times, an ill rapper and a dope producer just work that well together. Jaylib - Champion Sound CD/LP 2003, and Champion Sound Instrumentals LP. Going back to Guilty’s first appearance on wax (Jaylib’s ‘Strapped’ in 2003), Guilty over a Madlib beat is like hearing Guru over Premier circa ‘Daily Operation’, or CL over Pete around the time of ‘Straighten It Out’. The charisma that Detroit’s heavy hitting MC Guilty Simpson and the LA-based Beat Konducta Madlib share testifies to a musical kinship that is rare in today’s rapper-as-an-accessory marketplace. Rocc, and a whole bunch of attitude, makes up one of the best underground hip hop projects in a long while. This, with a couple no-nonsense guest appearances, some cuts by J. No blood-stained gloves or slo-mo freeway pursuits, just hard-hitting, straight-from-the-gutter hip hop tracks featuring Guilty’s inimitable baritone, and an equal number of Madlib’s signature album-as-soundtrack/radio/sideshow arrangements, where the beat and sequence is as important as the rap. Producer Madlib + MC Guilty Simpson = OJ Simpson. OK, yes, it's another disc from Stones Throw.
