DILLATRONIC VOL. 3 by J DILLA

Contains over 24 unreleased instrumentals from iconic producer J Dilla. First run of vinyl includes colored vinyl. Limited to 2000 units.!The late, great J Dilla is rightly celebrated as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, in part because his ear for music was so diverse and expansive. From the smooth, soulful soundbeds he laid down for A Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, The Pharcyde, Common, The Roots, and D�Angelo to the hard-edged, synth-heavy tracks he crafted for Busta Rhymes, Jaylib, Oh No, and Phat Kat, Jay Dee�s music continued to grow and evolve throughout his brief time on this planet. As Dilla�s mother Ma Dukes explains, �He didn�t come with a limited capacity, and real producers produce, produce, and produce. �There are no formats for genius workers�just non-stop creations.� Now, a fresh batch of those creations will be made available to the world for the first time, in the form of the late st official J Dilla release, Dillatronic. Presented by Ma Dukes and compiled by DJs Alien Villainz (fellow Detroit natives who worked closely with Dilla), Dillatronic contains over 40 rare instrumentals that showcase Dilla�s undeniable electronic influences. J Dilla�s music was impacted by the diverse musical history of Detroit - the birthplace of Techno and one of the most important cities in the history of electronic music. �You can hear it in songs like �Raise It Up� for Slum Village or �Make It Hurt� for Busta Rhymes,� says Young RJ (Dilla�s prot�g� and member of Slum Village). �The Detroit influence is part of what gave him an edge in production.� With today�s music sounding more electronic than ever, Dillatronic has a shockingly contemporary feel. �These tracks are still ahead of their time sonically,� explains RJ. � ��The things producers are doing now, Dilla did that 15 years ago.� As the years go by, Ma Dukes plans to continue presenting music fans with the untold chapters in Dilla�s ever-expanding legacy. �I can smile in my heart, knowing my son�s work is being shared with the people as we planned before he passed,� she says. �I only share the best, and I only hope to continue introducing the world to the genius of J Dilla.
