All the J Dilla tracks come from either the ‘Donuts’ album (Feb 2006 – Stones Throw Records) or ‘The Shining’ album (Sept. 2006 – BBE Records). As you may know J Dilla passed away in February of 2006, 2 days after the release of ‘Donuts’. He was an icon not only in the Hip Hop community but in the music community in general and his music still lives on today through the releases (or re-releases) of his music (The Shining, Ruff Draft, Jaylib-Champion Sound, Jay Loves Japan, Jay Deelicious, and Dillagence). Pick these albums up.

I have discovered a really great Podcast out of LA from the good folks at ‘HVW8’ and ‘solidstatela’ called “Live At The BBQ” featuring DJ’s Ty G and Max, plus special guests from time to time. Subscribe to this Podcast if you can, cause they are far more better than I will ever be, and the music every week is amazing. Support these guys and good music. www.hvw8.com, www.solidstatela.com.

Peace and One Love!
