Guilty Simpson & Small Professor Highway Robbery Black Vinyl Edition

Coalmine Records is pleased to re-release Guilty Simpson and Small Professor’s highly acclaimed collaborative LP, Highway Robbery, on classic black vinyl. Weighing in at 11 tracks, which includes the vinyl-only bonus track of Zilla Rocca’s Remix of “Go,” the album places the listener in a seemingly post apocalyptic Detroit where the mentality is feast or famine. The LP plays as one long narrative of Guilty’s day-to-day survival in Detroit’s concrete jungle, all set to the backdrop of Small Professor’s ominous, percussion heavy production. Featuring guest appearances from Detroit’s Boldy James, AG (of D.I.T.C.), Elucid, and Castle, with both Statik Selektah and DJ Revolution handling the Technic 1200s.
The vinyl launch falls on the week of the five year anniversary since Highway Robbery was first released - available for the first time in a classic black vinyl format. Ranked among the top 25 albums of the year in 2013 by HipHopDX. “Guilty Simpson and Small Professor find common ground on ‘Highway Robbery,’ a 10-track album that plays out like a crime drama from an old pulp magazine.” Upon the album’s initial launch, Highway Robbery was supported by the likes of Complex, XXL, Hip-Hop Wired, The Boombox, Okayplayer, Ambrosia for Heads, DJBooth, HipHopDX, 2DOPEBOYZ, Nah Right, OnSMASH, and more. Small Professor is the collaborating producer on the forthcoming posthumous LP, 86 Witness, from the late Sean Price, due out later this year.
