BLING47 BREAKS DILLA EDITION: WAAJEED F. PHAT KAT

Our good homie Waajeed recently relaunched his Bling47.com site & it’s better, faster, stronger, fresher! We encourage all of you to add it to your bookmarks or homepage it if you havn’t already!

Bling47 Breaks takes you on a journey into samples used by J Dilla.  This original series is directed, filmed and edited by Waajeed himself. The 3^rd episode features him speaking about samples used in, “Featuring Phat Kat” from the BBE release, “Welcome To Detroit”. “This time marks an important phase in the relationship of our crew.  When the opportunity for a solo project came from Peter of BBE – it was another crack in the widening gap between Dilla and Slum Village.  J took the leap and made one of his most comprehensive projects to date.  “Featuring Phat Kat” is just one of the many hidden jewels on the album that would become, “Welcome 2 Detroit.”

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.

J DILLA – JAY STAYS PAID OUT TODAY!!!

Nature Sounds released J Dilla’s latest album Jay Stays Paid today!Ma dukes over saw it. Pete Rock mixed it down. The title is based upon Dilla production label Pay Jay. Many artists bless some of the tracks from MF DOOM, Blu, Black Thought to his cousin Que D making a return to the mic after some years away from it. The album is Dilla doing what Dilla does best… bringing that HEAT! Peep my fave & new theme song for my Fly N Saucy crew feat. newly inducted FNS member & brother of Dilla, the ever so talented, Illa J & Que D “See That Boy Fly”

”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.”
