Madvillain

MF DOOM and Madlib are Madvillain. The two met in 2002 and soon began working on Madvillainy which would be finished over the next year and released in March 2004.

The music on Madvillainy went against the grain of all popular conventions in contemporary hip-hop: short songs, dirty sound, no choruses, and with lyrical themes which were not always clear to everyone on first listen.

The album received the highest critical praise of a hip-hop album released in 2004, and years later has continued to generate interest and controversy. (Stones Throw Records).

Ruff Draft EP

Ruff Draft was originally released in February 2003 as an EP, by his then newly founded label, Mummy Records, and distributed by Groove Attack (German label). In 2007, Ruff Draft was remastered and re-released as the third official solo album by Stones Throw Records. The re-release sold 8,049 copies in its first week, J Dilla's largest first-week sales as a solo artist.

The original vinyl release of Ruff Draft is now out of print. Although the album is one of Jay Dee's lesser known works, it includes some of his most abstract and experimental work, all self-produced, and recorded in under a week!

Such a cute video!

Classics!

The Shining

This album is Dilla's second solo album. "The Shining" was incom- plete at the time of J Dilla's passing and was posthumously completed by Karriem Riggins (his friend and fellow Detroit hip hop producer). Karriem Riggins was entrusted by Dilla's mother for the completion and handling of the record.

"The Shining serves as showcase of J Dilla’s talents which features him not only as a
producer, but also as a rapper, singer and musician. Featured guests on this album include Busta Rhymes, Common, Pharoahe Monch, D’Angelo, Madlib, Black Thought, Medaphor aka MED, and Guilty Simpson." (BBE music).

"Won't do" feat. Illa J (J Dilla's little brother)



"E=MC²" feat. Common

Welcome To Detroit

"Whether you know it not, Jay Dees been rocking you for years, producing chart topping hits for rap luminaries Jay-Z, Common, De La Soul and Busta Rhymes, Tribe and Erykah Badu, as well as Janet Jackson and The Brand New Heavies, this is the roll call of how Jay Dee blasted off (Westwood).

Unless youve been buried deep in a hip hop proof bunker for the past few years chances are youve shaken your caboose to a few Jay Dee dope jams …. The latest super producer". (Id magazine 2001).

"Come Get It" feat. Elzhi

Dilla Donuts
