Apollo Brown and Guilty Simpson – Reputation

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.

This 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.
