J Dilla is one of my favorite hip-hop producers (may he rest in peace). James "J Dilla" Yancey was probably one of the most versatile, original, creative and brilliant producers I've ever heard. His music and ideas were pure genius and he continues inspire me as I create. For those of you that don't know J Dilla was the mastermind behind countless hip/neo-soul classics and produced for a plethora of artists from Common to Slum Village to Busta Rhymes to Dwele to Erykah Badu (you get the idea). With that being said I will leave you with a track he produced for Erykad badu. Im sure you heard this one before. Also if your a Dilla fanatic like me then you will be able to appreciate a recent documentary about his life that was made by Stussy Records. Check it out HERE. Hope you enjoy and feel free to let me know your favorite Dilla track(s). Peace ya'll!

The whole Jaylib "Champion Sound" album are some of the sickest beats ever made by any man...RIP JayDee
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I love that album. One of hip hop's best collabos. I need to go listen to that right about now. Thanks Jake.
