In honor of what would’ve been J Dilla’s 38th birthday, The Primeridian drop their Dilla-dedicated What If Jay Dee produced PCP? project, where they revisit many of Mr. Yancey’s best and brightest productions.
And I guess this is as good of time as any to plug my ‘The 50 Best Dilla Songs‘ piece I did for Complex Mag. I take a look back at 50 records he had a hand in, and share my thoughts–a must read for any real fan of Dilla Dog. Check it here.
From Race Bannon: “Anyone that knows The Primeridian, knows we ain’t
johnny come latelys, we celebrating Dilla’s life and legacy…” This
collection of songs (free download) over rare and unreleased gems from
the late James Yancey aka Jay Dee aka J Dilla is in honor of the
producer/artist/musician extraordinaire… Featuring The Primeridian
(even the member Tree has a song), Ang 13, James Earl Bonez, Big
Malcolm Little, Burgandy Cashmeir, B.B.L.A.C.C., Uneq’ka, Pigmeat
