J Dilla: The Diary Instrumentals Vinyl LP
Instrumentals from Dilla's lost album!Ā You may have heard many of these beats before, but they've never seen official release until now. The Diary was originally slated for release in the early 2000s but was shelved by MCA upon completion. The vocalĀ version of the album featuresĀ mainly Dilla as MC, but this instrumental version lets the beats ride on their own.Ā Features production from the likes of Madlib, Pete Rock, Nottz, House Shoes, Karriem Riggins and Dilla himself. Sourced from the original 2" tape, many of the tracks were also mixed by Dilla, with those that weren't having been mixed by engineer Dave Cooley, who worked extensively with Jay DeeĀ during his years in Los Angeles. There areĀ soĀ many moments on the album, from the classic "Fuck The Police," to tracks like "The Anthem," "Diamonds (The Shining Pt. 1)," and "Give Them What They Want." Released by Mass Appeal andĀ Pay Jay Productions.
