Happy birthday J Dilla

Happy B-Day J Dilla

Inspired by the late great J Dilla, producer !llmind reaches down in the vault to grab four records that he produced between the years 1999 – 2001.

“J Dilla, what more can I say about the man that hasnโ€™t been said already. Heโ€™s one of the greatest. When I started messing with beat making in the late 90โ€™s, he was the one producer I studied. I still study him, to this day. During a time period of about 5 years, I was in โ€œbeat-making-boot-campโ€, or โ€œ5 beats a day for 3 summersโ€ as Kanye would say. I trained my ear and was inspired by Dilla the whole time. This is a collection of 4 beats (out of thousands) that I made during that time period. I hope you enjoy! Rest in power J Dilla. Forever.” – !llmind
