description
J Dilla is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop producers
of all time, having supplied timeless soundbeds for the likes of A
Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, The Pharcyde, Busta Rhymes,
Common, De La Soul, The Roots, D’Angelo, Erykah Babu, Madlib,
and many more. In 2005, rumors began circulating about an album
called “”Jay Love Japan””, a J Dilla solo project inspired by one of
Jay Dee’s favorite locations to visit on tour. After Dilla’s untimely
death in early 2006, the album became a lost classic shrouded in
mystery, with only unofficial bootlegs and promo versions available.
An official CD version was eventually released in 2008, but quickly
went out of print.
Now, the album is finally receiving the official release it always
deserved. J Dilla’s mother Ma Dukes and her label Vintage Vibez
Music Group are proud to present official Vinyl and CD versions
of “Jay Love Japan”. With six soulful Dilla instrumentals and vocal
appearances from Blu, Miguel, J*Davey, Ta’Raach, Exile, Baatin,
and more, this 11-track collection is a perfect snapshot of late-period
J Dilla brilliance.
