Guilty Simpson's full-length solo debut, ODE TO THE GHETTO, brings him worldwide, while chronicling a life led in the rough-hewn city that birthed him. Featuring an all-star cast of producers normally reserved for those signed to six-figure deals (Denaun Porter of D-12, Oh No, Madlib, J Dilla) ODE TO THE GHETTO marks an evolution, incorporating a more topical and thought-provoking persona in addition to the extra-savage braggadocio Simpson is known for. Guilty Simpson was a favorite MC of the late great J Dilla, who was also responsible for getting the acclaimed MC signed to Stones Throw.
