DANDIGGITY PRESENTS: ECLECTICUTS VOL.28

A new year, a new EclectiCuts! It’s been a truly exciting ride for me this past month. A lot of changes and new opportunities have manifested themselves and I’m eternally blessed to have these things happen on my last year as a 20-something-year-old. As always keeping that positive mindframe helps when things get hard and out of perspective. But lets get back to the real issue here, MUSIC! This is a nice little hype collection of tunes I’ve been diggin and I think they might be able to help you during these cold days. Unless you’re in Cali where we are enjoying the sun and t-shirt weather. My bad. Well, you know what to do. Download, share, and as always my people, support the artists!

Anyways the long awaited No Knows Outkast that was supposed to drop on the 15th of last month is finally here. It’s filled with all my faves & was a batch & a half to put together.

”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 and DATs. Its mind blowing…this is like the missing links to Dilla’s legacy.”

NEW DILLA ALBUM TO COME OUT THIS SUMMER!

URB MAG just Twitted that a new J Dilla album will be released this summer on Pitchfork. I’m geeked!! Peep what they talkin bout…

Like Tupac, J Dilla’s prolific creative habits resulted in a slew of unreleased material left behind in the wake of his passing. According to Pitchfork, an album of some of these unreleased beats entitled Jay $tay Paid is scheduled for a June 2nd release on Nature Sounds Records. The album is executive produced by Dilla’s mother, Maureen Yancey aka Ma Dukes.

“It wasn’t rushed, and it wasn’t haphazard,” she says. “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. It’s mind blowing…this is like the missing links to Dilla’s legacy.”

Dilla’s idol, Pete Rock, is handling the mixing and arrangement of the album’s 28 tracks. The album mostly consists of instrumentals, however a handful of Dilla friendly collaborators such as Raekwon, DOOM, and Black Thought are contributing vocals to the project.
