Concernant le Dilla :
Posthumous J Dilla album Jay Stay Paid on the horizon, totally legit
This February marked three years since J Dilla's passing, three years
which could have been his most productive, coming up as he was at the
time of his death. In the absence of his dedicated and prolific work
methods, the world has seen a few posthumous releases - legitimately or
not, people have scoured Dilla's hard drives for fully formed and
casual ideas alike. Ultimately, releases done with the right intentions
have been welcomed warmly, The Shining and Ruff Draft among them, and
now Jay Stay Paid, a 25 track collection of beats executive produced by
none other than "Ma Dukes" a.k.a. Dilla's mother, who was extremely
close to her son during his final moments and during the recording of
the classic Donuts. If that isn't cred enough, Jay Stay Paid was culled
under the musical supervision of acclaimed producer Pete Rock, who was
high up in Jay Dee's mind when it came to beat production.
Mixed and arranged by Pete Rock, the album is mostly instrumental, but
features a few familiar voices such as Black Thought and MF Doom (who
has recently added his voice to one or two other Dilla beats in various
contexts). It comes out June 2 on the Natural Sounds label.
