Dilla

In celebration of James "J Dilla" Yancey's 40th birthday, 
House Shoes presents the first half of the follow up to his 
critically acclaimed "The King James Version" mix, paying 
tribute to one of, if not the best producer in hip-hop's history
by strolling through some more of the records that were mined 
by Dilla for his productions. From jazz, to soul, to moog and 
electronica and more, this mix serves as a reminder to show how 
broad the range of music that inspired him was. Taken from all original vinyl. No youtube rips. No mp3s. None of that bulllshit.

Enjoy.

THE KING JAMES VERSION VOL. 2: The New Testament

I mixed a few incredible influences together and made this. This joint was the closer for my Spunday mix, but since it's the 5 year anniversary since the King of Pops departure from Earth...I decided to share this by itself.  Hope you dig it!!

The legendary interview w/ Jay Dee on World Wide dating from Feb 2001, as he speaks on the making of the seminal Welcome 2 Detroit, his production work w/ Pharcyde, Common, Tip and other stories... a must listen. Happy Bday Dilla.
