Description
KingUnderground & Delicious Vinyl present a lovingly re-issued version of this sought after & seminal hip-hop record, with all the original instrumental beats by J Dilla
This instrumental version of the album is released alongside the original version
featuring Common, Talib Kweli, Posdnuos, T-3 & Guilty Simpson, and the frst time
re-issued on vinyl since 2013.
Back in 2008, just two years after James Yancey aka J Dilla's passing, Mike Ross,
founder of Delicious Vinyl, presented J Dilla's mother Maureen Yancey (aka Ma
Dukes), with a vault of unreleased beats from her late son. Following Dilla's
childhood friend (and longtime collaborator) Frank Nitty (Of Frank N' Dank) was a
part of a group of confdants, who lovingly went through the treasure chest of
music, formulating a tribute to their departed friend the best way they knew how.
With hundreds upon hundreds of instrumentals to choose from, Nitty and Dilla's
brother Illa J narrowed the pile down to a collection of about 50 tracks, some of
which would become the building blocks of their debut 2013 Yancey Boys album,
'Sunset Blvd'. Upon its release in 2013, the LP became an instant classic, gaining
recognition from tastemakers across the world.
Even without J Dilla's presence during the record's creation, Frank & Illa J were
able to harness Dilla's omniscient creative energy during the production process
of making Sunset Blvd.
Through Delicious Vinyl, 'Sunset Blvd' and the accompanying instrumentals were
both released on wax in 2013, but have not been reissued since, until now.
Thankfully, UK based label King Underground (AKA KU) have once again made
this seminal record (and instrumentals) available.
