Jay Dee - More Looks More Love

Jay Dee lighter

BBC Radio 1 have made an audio documentary on the late, great producer J Dilla. It’s only available for six more days, so listen to it while you can. Here is the description:

It’s a name you might not recognise — but you’ll certainly know his music… James Dewitt Yancey, Jay Dee or more commonly known as J Dilla, is one of hip hop’s most influential producers and artists, but his genius was cut short at 32 after battling the incurable blood disease, lupus.

As part of the Gone Too Soon series, Benji B presents this 1Xtra story celebrating the incredible music J Dilla created during his lifetime which includes tracks for Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, The Pharcyde and De La Soul to name but a few.

Through interviews with Plug 2 from De La Soul, Mos Def, Questlove from The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, J.Rocc, Slum Village members T3 and Wajeed, his brother Illa J and his incredible mum, Ma Dukes, we learn about how he made those beats, what he was like as a person and the legacy he left behind. Benji also pays his own tribute to the man he knew for almost ten years and is his favourite producer of all time.

…yes yes yes YES and YESSSS

Jay Dee - Love (A Thing Of The Past)

Jay Dee - 1996 What UP Doe Sessions

“Raw drums, sick loops and catchy lyrics.  These are the ingredients to a classic hip hop track.  This is the alchemy Slum Village utilized while making, “Fall In Love.

”Originally scored for Dilla’s first solo effort, this track didn’t quite make it. On this episode, DJ Amir fills us in about his journey with Gap Mangione’s, “Diana in the Autumn Wind,” and his insight on Dilla.  Special thanks to A-1 records and @djparler.

Enjoy!”

……..all you producers need to get up on GAP MANGIONE… i bet you didn’t know chuck had a bro who played amaaaaazing jazz shit. go  now

“This was an interlude track on a beat CD from the early 2000s. The track wasn’t finished, but the basic, raw elements were enough for me. I love this joint.

I dug deeply into my unseen video footage to bring you along as Q-Tip took me and Dilla to New York’s world famous The Sound Library in 1999. This was the trip where we picked up Fred Miller’s, “Sounds of Love – A to Zzzz.”

I have finally been reunited with this record thanks to DJ Akalepse. Get a copy and put it on ice. Thx to @nstybrd for additional filming.

Enjoy!”
