3. J Dilla - Dime Piece (Inst

The second instalment of the Groove Gems collection featuring an array of talented artists from my main collectives, @RhythmandReason and @ORPHGANG... 

This project was a great opportunity to showcase some of the amazing talent I have come across since releasing the first instalment of Groove Gems; all of whom I can individually consider as close friends and musical inspirations. Furthermore, Groove Gems II also allowed me to solidify my sound (put a stamp on it if you like) and expose listeners to the musical development/growth I have experienced since the last album. 

A massive thank you to EVERYONE who has supported me so far on my journey! 

Listen, Enjoy & Share (If you like it haha). As Always, Keeping It Soulful :)

" I was listening to J Dilla before I even knew who he was. 
                                                         It's crazy when people influence you without you even knowing." - Real J. Wallace
 
         In honor of and in tribute to James "J Dilla" Yancey, San Diego emcee and Co-founder of ThChrch, Real J. Wallace resurrects and reinterprets "Sounds Like Love" from debut studio album Yancey Boys. J Dilla hones the prototype of craftsmanship and dedication ThChrch would like to preserve for all releases, as they admire and appreciate the legacy that thrives off of the strength of those he has affected. "All that Tribe Called Quest, that D' Angelo, that Erykah Badu. I was listening to cats like 9th wonder growing up not knowing that it was the evolution of Dilla" stated Real J. Wallace, after a recent session at The Holyfield Studio. As Real J. Wallace continues to evolve, uplifting and honoring those who have assisted in his growth, James "J Dilla" Yancey being one of them, he gives us "Sounds Like Love."

From deep musical origins in Detroit, rapper/singer/songwriter Illa J has been slowly navigating his way through the oft-turbulent waters of Hip-Hop since the tender age of 13, when the young John Yancey aka Illa J wrote his first rhyme alongside his brother, the late great J Dilla. After his brother’s passing in ‘06, he began teaching himself piano, bass and taking vocal lessons while finding himself touring the world and recording a slew of Dilla-related projects, notably being an active member of Slum Village until 2014. His first solo album, '08s Yancey Boys and the Frank Nitt 2013 collaborative album Sunset BLVD were both released on seminal label Delicious Vinyl. Feeling the need for a change creatively as well as geographically, in 2012 John moved to the future music hotbed that is Montreal ultimately making the connection with Canadian producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical aka Potatohead People (whose acclaimed Bastard Jazz debut album Big Luxury in Spring 2015 featured Illa J on two hit singles). The success of their initial collaborations inspired the team to dive into the studio and embark on Illa J's new self-titled solo album, and present an entirely fresh sound of his own.
 
The album Illa J, produced without any samples by Potatohead People alongside a few groundbreaking co-producers, showcases a more mature and at-ease Illa J who is equally comfortable on top of an electronic boogie-inspired beat (“Universe”) as he is getting grimey over a trunk rattling G-Funk joint (the Kaytranada co-produced “Strippers”). On tracks like the sparse, Rhodes driven “Cannonball” (co-produced by Montreal’s Noo Bap), and the early 90s Spiritual / Acid Jazz inspired “Sunflower”, Illa flexes his muscles through both song and rhyme. And of course being true to his roots, the classic Detroit boom-bap sound is ever present on joints like “French Kiss”, “Perfect Game” (quite possibly Rap’s only ode to bowling), and “Never Left”, a touching tribute to his brother and a call-out to abusers of Dilla's legacy.  Vancouver mainstay MC Moka Only contributes invaluably to the cohesive sound of the album as well, providing signature smoothed-out vocal choruses to tracks like “She Burned My Art”, “All Good Pt. 2” and “Who Got It” (co-produced by Mosaic). Dropping Fall 2015 on Bastard Jazz Recordings, Illa J is a brilliantly-produced, diverse, and long overdue solo effort from Yancey.

We've been playing this one for almost a year now at our live events and radio shows and decided it was finally time to give this one to you to enjoy and play out yourself. 'Mountain High' shows Lakim's range of diversity and displays how this man can create any style of sound seamlessly! When ever our artists bring Modern Funk and that 90's Golden Era style together it's a win! Enjoy.
