In an act of great musicianship, the legendary Roots-crew pay respect to the late and great J Dilla offering their renditions of the producer’s greatest hits. The featured mixtape belongs easily to the most sublime tributes to J Dilla I have seen to date. Enjoy in this highest form of appreciation.
Here’s a rare, UK-only release for all you fans of good jazzy hiphop. Pete Rock, the producer behind the classic “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)” and many other classics, released this underground gem in 2001. It’s a mix of never-before-heard instrumentals and a couple of hiphop tracks as well. I’ve been listening to it over and over again, and it embodies all the aspects of my favorite kind of hiphop. If you’re a fan of J Dilla, DJ Premier, Evil D, etc. then you better grab this right now.
