J Dilla Donut Shop Pack

And the "Dopest item of the year" award goes to...

Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. This is 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Studio No.1. This will be released May 10th (the day after Mother’s day–what’s up Ma Dukes?). Pre-order is available now.


The J Dilla tracks consist of three previously unreleased instrumentals selected by J.Rocc from the Dilla archives – “Safety Dance”, “Sycamore”, “Bars & Twists” – and three unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla’s production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, each remastered by Elysian Masters who mixed and mastered J Dilla’s Donuts, The Shining and Ruff Draft albums. – Stones Throw

R.I.P. J. Dilla

Favorite Dilla beat right here. J. Dilla's beats mixed with Common's rhymes is a recipe for greatness.

I know I missed it. It slipped my mind I thought about it on Tuesday. Better late than never.

Common remembers J. Dilla

For real Com is speakin' the truth music would be in a different place if Dilla was here. He is in my top 5 favorite producers I'd have to think about it for a while.
