[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 15th Anniversary to Guilty Simpson’s second studio album OJ Simpson, originally released May 18, 2010. OJ Simpson is an overlooked creation by two top-notch artists in their respective fields. It’s a partnership between emcee Byron “Guilty” Simpson and Otis “Madlib” Jackson, Jr., and a surprisingly unusual one at that. When it was released 15 years ago, many didn’t know what to make of it.
