Official vinyl release features deluxe packaging, printed inner sleeve and a die-cut jacket.
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, DâAngelo, Erykah Badu, Madlib, and many more. In 2005, rumors began circulating about an album called "Jay Love Japanâ, a J Dilla solo project inspired by one of Jay Deeâs favorite locations to visit on tour. After Dillaâs 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 Dillaâs mother Ma Dukes and her label Vintage Vibez Music Group are proud to present official Vinyl and CD versions of âJay Love Japanâ. With six soulful Dilla instrumentals and vocal appearances from Blu, Miguel, J*Davey, TaâRaach, Exile, Baatin, and more, this 11-track collection is a perfect snapshot of late-period J Dilla brilliance.
