This has been some years in the making. I have been wanting to dedicate my Feb NKD‘s to Jay Dee since I started doing NKD but it’s always been so difficult to pick n choose my favorite songs from my favorite artist, in this case it being Mr.Yancey himself. I literally sat there and debated heavily over some heaters & had to narrow it down to 40 of my most loved Dilla beats of all time. True Dilla fans should have the majority of this months edition, however like I said, I took my all time faves & put em in one home. Some – the actual songs, some – just the beats. This is for the faithfuls, so with that being said there isn’t a back cover this month. No track list either. It’s ALL DILLA PRODUCED! So from here on out… get used to Feb being like this.

Today we celebrate the birth and amazing career of the G.O.A.T. Jay Dee (J Dilla) born James Dewitt Yancey. Every year I have been making these posts & it still is crazy to me, but let’s not even go there… instead let’s all celebrate the life & musical career of a musical legend that many of were blessed to watch & listen to his growth. He changed the game with his many styles & approach. He made everyone around him work much harder because of his dedication to the basement. He will forever hold a special place in all our hearts & ears as well as history. D2S homie DJ Haylow made this video montage of Dilla as well as the 1st  Dilla tribute mix he did that you can grab after the jump! LONG LIVE DILLA!!

In his own words…

Here is the link to the mix which I promised to send yesterday. Some of yall may already have this one, if so, pass it along! This mix was recorded in 2005, before my transition to serato, so it is 100% Vinyl (which is notable for today’s standards!) It also features the Pharrell interview which I referred to in yesterdays email…
On a side note, I learned long after I recorded this mix that there is ONE beat on this mixtape that is NOT a Jay Dee/Dilla beat. See if you can guess which beat it is!
