Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson “Parkour” [mp3]

20 12 2012


Motor City brothers Apollo Brown and Guilty Simpson have wasted no time pounding the pavement for Dice Game. In the past few weeks Apollo has toured Australia and New Zealand while Guilty did a lean and mean west coast run that spanned Los Angeles to Seattle before hitting the NBC/Universal lot to be on Carson Daly’s show.

Today, while our road dogs get a breather, they release the all new, non-album, bonus track “Parkour” to announce the release of their new limited edition wax (ivory vinyl w/ bonus 45 featuring two non-album cuts). This first bonus, named after the military training parkour where practitioners need to burst through an obstacle course using the terrain to gain advantage. In similar fashion, Guilty takes the terrain laid out by Apollo Brown and powers through it like a linebacker with a vengeance. The sound has a bit of an electronic tinge, something not so present on the official LP but very much welcome here.

Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson – Nasty ft. Planet Asia [mp3]

27 11 2012


Apollo Brown chops a fiery gospel organ into an incendiary track that pulses with life. Guilty wastes no time turning into a microphone bully, showing just why he considers himself as nasty as black licorice. Cocky, brazen and above all ill, Apollo and Guilty are deadly enough as a duo but on this track they enlist their Left Coast brethren, Planet Asia, for a few bars of that west side grime. Fresno’s finest catches Guilty’s lob and slam-dunks his verse.

Now that Dice Game has rolled out it’s looking like snake eyes for the lames and a cool seven for our Motor City champs.

Keswick – For The Win ft. Skyzoo & YC the Cynic [audio]

15 11 2012


“If you’ve checked out the Grateful Dead-inspired instrumental album, or his recent Danny Brown remix, you know that Keswick’s beats push the envelope. “For The Win”, the first single off his first full-length album, Imaginate features New York emcees Skyzoo and YC the Cynic over a triumphantly lush Keswick sound-scape. The album also features Guilty Simpson, Sadat X, and Sene (among others), all rocking over some raw, far-out boom-bap. Look out for Imaginate November 19th, 2012.”





Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson “Reputation” [mp3]

6 11 2012


iTunes: Dice Game – Guilty Simpson & Apollo Brown

In a city in depression, rife with corruption and crime, many people have found an outlet in music. Amidst a scene that has played a pivotal role in modern hip-hop and electronic music, Guilty Simpson and Apollo Brown emerge, together, as the next up to bat. Dice Game, the collaborative album from the two, is Detroit through-and-through: uncompromising, gritty and soulful.

Officially set to drop on November 13th, today Dice Game sees an early release digitally. To celebrate the occasion, Mello Music Group let off the buckshot track “Reputation.” The song has Apollo serving up a certified heater (with a sample record heads will recognize) while Guilty knocks it clean out the park. Ride through The D with the duo as they show you the city that popularized Cardi frames, Cadillacs and carjacking.

Those who study post-industrial cities have a dark joke—Detroit is what the rest of the country has to look forward to. If that means resilience like the people of The D and soulful, rugged artists like Apollo and Guilty, then the future’s not looking half bad. Dice Game is available on itunes, amazon, emusic, and more today and in physical form (vinyl and cd) on November 13th via Mello Music Group.
