Everything starts somewhere. GUILT, the new album from Detroit’s own Guilty Simpson, started with an urge to grow. These new collaborations with producers and musicians he enlisted approach new territory for the frequent J-Dilla collaborator while remaining one of his most personal projects. GUILT acts as a portal between the listener and Simpson’s Detroit reality, and features tracks laden with live keys, trumpets, guitar, cello, violin, electric bass and drums.

The 7-track project features contributions from Prince Po, Bronze Nazareth and Oh No, with production handled by Kount Fif, Dub Sonata, Maitre D, Bronze Nazareth and Jason Rose. GUILT drops July 29th on Man Bites Dog Records and will be available on Colored vinyl, CD and all streaming platforms.
