J Dilla Donuts

Posted on 02.3.2006

J Dilla Aka Jay Dee
Album: Donuts
Release Date: 2/3/2006
Label: Stones Throw Records

Begun simply enough as a production beat tape, "Donuts" evolved into a project as unusual as the environment in which it was created. It’s a hip-hop album without MC’s. An album of electronic music that at times sounds like a 70s soul mixtape. Its abrupt transitions and numerous interludes might make you think you’re rapidly turning the radio dial in some strange city where every station is programmed by a certain Detroit hip-hop producer. "Donuts" is J Dilla doing what he does best – crafting hip-hop, soul and electronic music into his own sound.

And a few have asked, “What’s up with the title?” Easy explanation. Dilla likes donuts.
