R.I.P. Jay Dee (Updated...)


No More JAY DILLA? it's official... heavyweight underground producer Jay Dilla (Jaylib, Slum Village, Tribe Called Quest, Common) has passed away. if the name of this detroit maestro doesn't mean anything to you his music certainly has, since he is at the center of the soul-sampling movement that produced the sounds prevalent in hip hop today.

news of Jay's passing comes fresh on the release of Donuts, which Stones Throw Records press release describes as "a hip-hop album without MC's. An album of electronic music that at times

sounds like a 70s soul mixtape..."
i really didn't want to believe such a
prolific and versatile artist had passed, but it is now confirmed that he passed on friday.
for more information about Dilla and Donuts,
peep his page on Stone's Throws site.

peace, love, etc.
