Delicious Vinyl brings you Sunset Blvd, the new album from Yancey Boys, the group piloted by John “Illa J” Yancey and Frank Nitt. The dynamic new collection is built around previously unheard tracks created by Illa J’s brother: the late, great J Dilla (James Yancey). With Frank Nitt’s standing as J Dilla Music Catalog Curator and the official approval of Yancey Media Group, all productions on Sunset Blvd originate from The Lost Scrolls — the stunning cache of beats Dilla left behind.

Phat Kat is celebrating the impending re-release of his phenomenal 2007 album, ‘Carte Blanche,’ by sharing the raw, stripped-down, straight-up filthy “World Premiere” produced by none other than, J Dilla.

For those unfamiliar, Kat and Dilla had a special bond that led to them working together on their respective solo careers and as part of Dilla’s group, Slum Village. The late producer would often use the large-voiced rapper as a testing ground for his dirtier instrumentals, which would sometimes result in gems like “World Premiere.” Recorded in 1996—a full 11 years before Carte Blanche’s initial release—this joint is a ripped-from-the-cassette banger that’s bursting with life and personality on all fronts.

For Phat Kat, it’s an opportunity to talk his sh*t over one of Dilla’s grimier, barebones instrumentals, which is very much in line with what he was producing at that time. And among other bars, the chorus of “Emcees out there, you better stand clear/ That n***a Phat comin’ with the world premiere” is bound to get wrapped around your brain for days to come.

“World Premiere” is now available for stream and download through all digital retailers, and is one of two Dilla-produced bonus tracks on the ‘Carte Blanche’ re-release, which hits digital retailers and streaming platforms this Friday, July 27 via Below System Records.

Closer Than They Appear

Want To Say

In the summer of 1987, two Los Angeles DJs — Matt Dike and Michael Ross — converted a tiny L.A. apartment into a recording studio and started a record label called Delicious Vinyl. Championing artists from the streets and delivering music to dance floors and living rooms worldwide, the upstart label quickly made hip hop history.

Tone-Loc's "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina" were the first of three multi-platinum singles produced by Dike & Ross. Dike & Ross then launched Young MC to instant acclaim with indelible hits "Bust A Move" & "Principal's Office" from 1989's Stone Cold Rhymin' LP. Meanwhile Tone Loc's Loc'ed After Dark crashed in at #1 on the Billboard album chart.

After Matt Dike's departure in 1992, Delicious Vinyl became the sole mission for co-founder Michael Ross. Following the beats down the road less traveled, his astute signings of The Brand New Heavies, The Pharcyde, Born Jamericans, Masta Ace, and The Whoridas kept DV ruling the funhouse through the '90s.

In 2005, ten years after the release of the Pharcyde's groundbreaking Labcabincalifornia, Fatlip's solo album The Loneliest Punk sprouted the hit single "What's Up Fatlip" with its clowntastic Spike Jonze-directed video. Going from hip hop highs to soul surprises, Ross soon reunited The Brand New Heavies with original lead singer N'Dea Davenport for the 2006 album Get Used To It, its smash Stevie Wonder cover "I Don't Know Why (I Love You)" sporting a special remix by disco pioneer Tom Moulton. Delicious Vinyl also issued some of the era's best dancehall reggae, including the sizzling hit albums Pull Up (2004) and Hot It Up (2007)by Mr. Vegas.

Delicious Vinyl celebrated it 20th Anniversary in 2008. The RMXXOLOGY project starred the likes of Peaches, Aaron LaCrate & Debonair Samir, Diplo, Hot Chip, and Bobby Evans, all re-imagining the Delicious catalog for a new millennium dancefloor. The arrival of Yancey Boys, the debut album by Illa J (with beats by his brother, the late great Jay Dee aka J Dilla), kept brows razed until Illa J's Detroit homey Frank Nitt hit L.A. and dropped the love bumpin' 2009 summer single "L-O-V-E".

From its expressionistic funky music to its classic wash'n'wear logo t-shirt, Delicious Vinyl stands out for its streetwise savvy, staunch independence, and for shaping the soulsonic sound-scape of today. Ya heard!!!
