Two classics on a Tuesday. Hip Hop is alive and well!! Peep the album snippets, press info and tracklisting below.....GO!

Jay $tay Paid (album snippets)

Curtailing any notion of jumping on some sort of Dilla bangwagon, Jay Stay Paid was executive produced by Dilla’s mother Maureen Yancey (aka Ma Dukes) along with the musical supervision of Dilla’s only real musical idol, Pete Rock. “It wasn’t rushed and it wasn’t haphazard,” explains Ms Yancey. “This album combines what he did in the beginning of his career, what he did in some of our early hospital stays, which was very deep, and some stuff pulled from old floppy disks & DATs. Its mind blowing…this is like the missing links to Dilla’s legacy.”

The format of the album plays like a radio show with Pete Rock as the program director. With regards to Pete’s involvement, Ms. Yancey gets very excited, “Dilla wanted to pattern himself behind Pete. His dream was to become as close as possible to what Pete stood for. Pete meant everything to him. Dilla would have just been flabbergasted! ” Pete’s sentiments were the same toward Dilla, “Dude was amazing. He just kinda came outta nowhere and the more you heard his beats the better they got. He may not be here with us, but it’s all good we’re going to keep his music alive and well.”

New Music: Slum Village (feat. Marsha Ambrosius) - Cloud 9

On the real tho, it feels good hearing the 3 at it again. After all the bullsh*t, and Dilla's passing, i'm glad they decided to reunite. I was listening to a few Jay Dee interviews yesterday and he spoke on how the SV reunion album is gonna be crazy and how its the 4 of them now, ready to smash the industry. It's a shame that didn't get to see light... but SV is here to carry the torch!! Baatin, Elzhi & T3!!! can't wait for their new project..

SAY IT!!!!

i wasn't gonna post anything today but i came across another leak from Termanology's mixtape "If Heaven Was A Mile Away: Tribute to J Dilla" (dropping New Year's Day!!). i wasn't too impressed with the last leak with his click ST. Da Squad, but this sh*t right here?!??!?! FUEGO. i remember Lacks rocked this joint on the Jay Love Japan project, the beat on this is just bonkers...i swear i could listen to that instrumental all day. this jawn features Sheek Louch, Joell Ortiz, Bun B, Saigon & Freeway (BTW that Month Of Madness series Free's been dropping, has been SO consistent. can't wait for a full length). you gotta love that Dilla shout out from Bun-B, it shows that Jay's music REALLY touched everyone. RIP to the legend.

"Say what you want but they gon' Pay Jay..."

I used to kill this beat when i first heard it on the Dilla Treats beat cds... we all heard Teddy Rileys flip on "Right Here" and Extra P's on "It Ain't Hard To Tell", but since then i dont think anyone tried to re-touch that sample. Dilla's twist on any Jackson sample is always incredible... im glad some of them are being released as songs. here's a track from Termanology's tribute dropping on Jan.1.
Justus League boys rep on the jawn as well....GO!!! RIP to the G.O.A.T.

Don't Sleep: The King James Version

i remember Dave New York dropped a Dilla Tribute tape called "The Ma Dukes Collection" last year, it was a collection of freestyles and songs on unreleased Jay Dee beats... Rhettmatic, J Rock and Houseshoes each had tribute sets and "A Legend In His Own Time" was included.
Houseshoes decided to stretch that set to 75 min. and call it "The King James Version". this is for all you true Jay Dee heads (not you fake ass "DonutsIsTheFirstDillaSh*tIHeardAndNowIRockHisTShirtLikeIBeenDownFromTheJump" losers), and believe me this does not disappoint. 75 minutes of straight Dilla breaks, some from the popular joints and some from his beat treat cd's thats been leaked allllllll over the net. i found myself just sitting in awe, wondering how this dude worked his magic. i mean, the body of work Jay put in this game is just straight impeccable, he will FOREVER be missed. peep game below for track 1 of the set. DON'T HATE B*TCH, MAKE SOME NOISE!!!! GO!!!

A Legend in His Own Time
