"J Dilla’s protege Guilty Simpson first collaborated with Madlib’s protege MED on the hard hitting ‘Jungle Love’ track off J Dillas ‘The Shining’ LP. They continued to reunite on several tracks after and now offer us the Loyalty EP. With beats by Black Milk, MNDSGN, Exile and Preme, the duo have no choice but to come correct with the lyrics and they do.

From Cali to Detroit, MED and Guilty Simpson deliver a 10 track EP to get you ready for the album dropping later this year on Bang Ya Head Entertainment."

Guilty Simpson is doin' the damn thang in 2015 as he represents Detroit in a definition of real live street music. Prolific as usual with guest spots and solo releases, listen as Guilty gives Hip Hop fans the rawness they thirst for by painting visions of the ghetto over rugged sample-based instrumentals on "Unreleased Material" featuring MED and "Vanguard Organization".
