The late, great J Dilla is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time.  Since his death in 2006, Dilla’s mother Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey has worked tirelessly to further her son’s legacy, and her latest effort is the new release Motor City.  To celebrate the release, Dilla’s close friend J Rocc (a world-renown DJ and founder of the Beat Junkies)put together a series of blends featuring the newly unearthed instrumentals on Motor City.  The project hits store everywhere on 4/21/17.

From Willingboro to Highland Square 
I been a very good sport haven't I this year 
I'm having a heaven sized career 
Slightly hesitant of putting sharpies under brassiere's 
I sign (on) & keep it moving 
Unclutter ya life and it gets less confusing 
My (girl) coming (home now) 
Then we gon walk to the movies 
She think it's sold out & I tell her we good you gotta.. 

The country's up in flames we just keep making fire 
I try to keep the wins fairly quiet tho it's mainly 
I know the last thing you needs another rapper bragging that his chick is badder and they're doing way better than.. 
My jackets from Japan I got the link for ya 
Next time you see me I might bring back some Diadora's 
I been putting way more focus in appearance 
The weight of the words are 
Live inside of filters but we speaking without one 
I can tell you ain't been punched in the mouth much but 
For your sake I would think about the future 
You don't think these tweets really disappear do ya? 
Identities online the new currency 
Telling me I got too many albums I tell em look at Curren$y 
Burning out is is never gonna worry me 
The stars write these raps I just deliver em vertically 

I rep the city wherever I'm at 
We dropped the You! video before the summer 
If you ain't signed they saying you on the come up 
Don't tell me where I'm tryna go keep strictly 
Homie I'm (on) I ain't gotta fake flex 
I will be taking 100 bars to Flex tho 
Scratch it off the bucket list 
You don't know who you fuckin wit 
Creative servant till I'm dead & 
I'm re-design how the media do news 
Inspirational rooms with quotes all on the walls 
And we gon build an infrastructure like Europe 
That treats artists better so that we can work better 
If Kanye is Walt Disney I'm Floyd Norman 
I made it out The Jungle Book into the 
So come 
The Torres One project in full effect 
This world is done we on to the next so

Surrender! (produced by HR3)

Nobody move and nobody get obliterated 
I'm here for the bright lights like when you enter Vegas 
And nah I aint never been 
But Google can enhance imaginations 
Yet yall look the same you could be neighbors 
That didn't know there's possibly a chance that you're related 
All them thoughts you've got left over yea you can save em 
And all the h*** yall talkin about wanting relations 
Just to fill their Father's seat at the dinner table 
I'm not here for your admiration 
I'm here to make you tally up the time you're wasting trying to be a star 
Catch me in the bars 
Staring at the screen writing lines in my head that pose like Draymond Green 
I had to learn this game has no roles or teams 
The only way to make it past the local scene is if the flow creates dopamine 
I hope you got the message 
Consider this last bullet a part of your severance

Get Down! (Produced by HR3)

You should already know its time to mobilize 
Whether walking or motorized voices loud shoulders high 
A bougie board in the water cannot control the tide 
And the bitch can't kill it if you control the vibe 
I took notes and learned how to get em notorized 
Never be the guy that knows the guy be the guy 
I'm showing up when I'm ready to buy 
Still chasin Ready to Die & yea I might be 
Somewhere along the way I got caught in the world wind 
While they professing theories of the worlds end 
Rappers going for dap and catch the Rock Bottom 
Turn the video off I know the cops shot em 

I'm tired of your jokes and false hope and Fall clothes 
500 for a sweater with holes in it so I can look like I didn't try 
Who would've thought back then our self-esteem was actually high 
Your uninformed political views 
Blaming the media for issues that started when our Dad's was gone 
So when you grow up and do something fucked up 


We should already see the signs in cloud formations in the sky 
God ain't coming He's been inside you the whole time 
A nose job won't protect you from a nosedive 
Your spirit tryna shed ya baggage let it downsize 
We're being spoon fed drama with the plane noise 
Whole diet turned soy now I've gotta new pain in my deltoid 
Over the counter medication no insurance supposed to make it 
But somewhere inside the black and white spiral 
A glimmer of hope just went viral 
Inspirational quotes put with a montage of my idol 
Next to vid of a black man that was titled 

I'm tired of these apps that all do the same shit 
Tired of hearing people say engagement 
That's based in nothing that has to do people actually engaging 
We just throwing voices in the matrix 
You should think about ya reputation online 
Talk to people like you would when you outside 
If somebody catch you with the over hand right they'll be like 


My God I gotta be one of the illest ones alive 
At giving a glimpse of how we all should feel inside 
Living all alone but surprised that I Phyllis Hy 
Man I just hope when I go that somebody cry/Beats karate chopped/Rhymes the sound that you hear when a body drop 
From 20 stories that you heard about an artist and the deal that they prolly got 
Give our lives to an art that can possibly flop 
But some of us get a chance to make it outta the world wind 
Industry crying broke and the budget thin 
Got you chasing the trends to have a hot week 
2nd album comes around and they lookin like... 

I think it's all a hoax/Independence is sold 
The biggest fuckin culture on the globe 
And we let some outsiders take a bulk of the control 
And sell the vision back without the box or the remote 
Bunch of folks tryna network without the code 
Follow me on IG bro I'll hit you back when I charge my phone 
I Samsung in they face and tell em no

You Should! (Produced by HR3)

Tell you really what's going on 
Feelings of falling off but holding on for dear life 
Like I wrote a letter to it professing all of my short comings 
I've had my share but nothing Columbus Short 
No comparisons of struggle just an observation 
I never took solace in violence on the streets that raised me 
I never put stock in people that promise to pay me 
I catch myself staring at my phone a lot lately hoping that you 
Down like I thought you would eventually 
I'm well aware of what's in-store for me 
I'll leave the door open so you keep taking more of me 
As you slowly chase your way back to your origin 
Cause it's easier to fill the void 
Without addressing all the noise 
If I'm honest I saw it all before it 
Came to fruition 
Sort of a premonition 
Uncontrollable hustlers ambition 
Gotta drawer full of some drive's from Sandisk 
At this point I wonder what I'm capable of 
I look up to my idols 
But I don't wanna meet em 
It's cool till you grow up and they know that you can beat em 
They jack ya style just to sell a couple songs 
You noticed they was washed all along Dear Mama why you 
See the good in folks 
I'm hoping that you just absent minded 
Not taking advantage of my kindness 
You don't know where I come from 
I've got favors to call if we really is on one 
Just get back to the music 
I'm praying everyday there's a reason that I do this 
If I'm just another kid chasing false dreams 
I'm asking that the Lord gives me strength right before he bout to

Let Me Down Easy! (Produced by HR3)

Why do we scream and shout? 
What is we talking bout? 

Why do we fuss and fight? 
What we gon say tonight? 

Tonight I thought about telling you how I really feel 
Without considering the repercussions 
Spirit beat like the African percussionist 
In a grade school when they lied about our heritage 
Supposedly I'm outspoken like Popovich 
More or less it's my opinion aint the populace 
I'm more concerned with the babies out in Flint 
Instead It's tweets on CNN like 


Why do we scream and shout? 
What is we talkin bout? 
Why do we fuss and fight? 
What we gon say tonight? 

What we talking bout real shit or we talkin bout rhymes 
You talkin millions of voices that's online 
Giving data for free to the companies tracking every single sound 
I liked the wrong pic & my girl ain't around 
Now my ads promoting single women in my town 
It's alot of single moms apparently wanting b**** 
It's alot of people round here that wish I wasn't 
And Id never know until it's coming 
Gotta journalist mind like Rocket in the City of God 
Standing between a battle I'm just tryna get the shot 

Why do we scream and shout? 
What is we talkin bout? 
Why do we fuss and fight? 
What we gon say tonight? 

Visions, Visions

Visions! feat HR3 (Produced by HR3)

The spirit of Eunice Waymond in Venezuela 
Travel the world inspire the kid's to keep they head up 
No tolerance of disrespect towards our young Corettas 
You might not understand our slang but don't you dare correct us 
My culture started in the streets of the Bronx 
And traveled to every radio in motion or parked 
I used to beat box on the picnic tables out in the park 
Wrote rhymes for my cousins for the battles would start 
Early on all my heroes that I had were 
Langston Hughes probably led me to the pad 
I would write my thoughts down when the world turned 
Back when Michael Jackson wrote 
But it did matter 
None of those parents had kids splattered 
Or environments that would encourage us to be combative 
What I idolized changed with intuition 
And usually the research would always lead me back to a 

Cant believe I was afraid to be 
It had to be 
I ain't have a pair of Jordan's they would tell me I aint 
It never bothered me too much at the time 
Until I uncovered the underlying façade 
There's level to this skin color of mine 
If you look like me, I could never be enough to get by 
But if we differ then I'm always too much to survive 
Uh...You Know I care like Duke Pearson on HoneyBuns 
My art is equal in content never in funds 
Holbrook is Art Blakey on the drums 
As he watches the direction he created to become 
Channel a network you can't tap into 
Imma start a religion & I'm tryna recruit 
God coming back soon in a pin stripe suit 
Driving a 57 Bentley coupe 
And she's only taking

Black Musicians! (Produced by HR3)

Things aint like they used to be 
It's all better 
Put the bubble in between the lines it's all level 
Gotta try and elevate your mind when the dust settles 
You didn't I'm convinced that's why your house smells 
Like you been way too shut in 
All of a sudden 
My patience reached level 20 somethin 
I'll work wit ya 
Spit a verse wit ya 
Split the tab wit ya 
Watch ya team lose a game and get mad wit ya 
Ya loss is my loss so I feel for ya 
Sometimes I'm better at showing you how I feel for ya 
We was in love with the idea of marriage 
And both took it seriously with who we met after we broke up 
Like a truck with no holes I dodge bullets 
She took off all her clothes I know I shouldn't 
But the thrill got me 
That's what a dude say when you know he lying 
It's not the time to try and live in a half back toss it's just 
Things aint like I remember 
It's easy to get past 
If I had a chance to go back I might like 

Let's take it back yea 
No cap when I'm discussing 
That I need 100 thousand on my next budget 
Baby you gotta love it/I dream big and talk subtle 
Cause the loudest mouth you hear in the room is prolly bluffin 
I really like what I discovered when I use the universe like cell coverage 
I call out whatever I want & manifest every blessing 
They really like, Uh They really like the message 
When Monica was smashing fun Bobby on the terrace 
Me and my friends plotted like kids out Laderra 
Its an Odd Future looming but its looking like its necessary 
No need to creep unless your T-Boz and Chili 
It's beyond affiliation it's more a problem with the soil underneath our nation 
I'm keeping my eyes peeled on possibilities and direction 
Sorry that you tagged me in your record with 86 other ppl and I forgot to check it 
Planning more trips outta the country than rednecks 
Ever since I got a lil taste of a pub check 
You'd think I wanna bartend 
Holbrook don't get me started 
They don't want no parts of this put em backstage 
Looking like a young Marvin Gaye minus the allegations 
We all hustle and got situations 
Celebrate what you like and quit hating
