a reverent collection of tributes, venerations and interpretations for Mr. James Dewitt Yancey (aka Jay Dee/J Dilla). after sifting through many hundreds of tracks dedicated to Jay, i felt this collection of joints best represented the flava of his indelible style (88 in total, in reference to Slum's alter band ego J-88). 99% of the tracks are original productions incorporating samples used by Dilla throughout his career and straight re-creations from scratch, not so much straight covers as they are interpolations of the originals, and only one Dilla instrumental is featured. the rest cover the gamut of Jay's ever-evolving style from his 90s period to the 2000s, with a few off-the-wall tributes that i think Dilla himself would've enjoyed. overall, 3.5hrs of heart-felt music for a man, now legend, whose skill, style and swag was respected, imitated and loved the world over.
(i know i know, another tribute mix, but it's MY tribute mix, if that counts for anything lol).
