Two Detroit titans, Apollo Brown and Guilty Simpson, are joining forces for a collaborative album called "Dice Game" to be released via Mello Music Group. Unlike lightweight rappers "scared to face the reality of truth," Guilty Simpson isn’t one to tiptoe around on the mic.

Honing in on the modern man's struggle, Journalist 103 uses his words to paint vivid pictures of peril, inspiration and overcoming hardship. As the lyricist behind The Left's critically acclaimed 2010 opus, Gas Mask, Journalist maneuvered through obscurity and rose to infamy as one of Detroit's most celebrated narrators.

As his name suggests, Journalist 103 is able to articulate his point of view like a true professional, never relying on cheap frills to captivate listeners.
