Since the untimely death of the great J Dilla the records and tributes haven’t stopped… the latest is the best yet though, a faithful recreation of some of the producers greatest beats “Dilla Joints”.
Live hip-hop can be corny as hell, but the Roots are like no other band out there they can easily flip form a live freeform jam to a loop as tight as any sampled beat. Their take on Dilla’s beats retains the fragility, weirdness and passion of the originals whilst giving them their own unique spin.

Blunted in the Bomb Shelter is one of the many projects that Madlib has undertaken rather successfully. This is a mix CD that skanks and trips through the Trojan back catalogue. There are 45 tracks that make up the 64 minutes of this CD. Madlib claims that this mix was recorded in his basement bomb shelter, and who are we to disbelieve him?
There are some lovely tracks on here with a nice variety of styles covered. Artists include Zap Pow, The Vulcans, Trinity, David Issacs, Don Drummond, Price Far I, King Tubby, The Chosen Few, and Mikey Dread.

Can't believe I only recently got this, its the shit. The legendary Blue Note jazz label had the confidence and trust to give Madlib the keys to the vault and let him mix. The result is "Shades of Blue". He wanted to explore the roots of hip-hop and create a sort of survey of the beats and melodies that have shaped the specifically American musical genre. This album is a gem. To say he was successful is an understatement. This album showcases his vision. Enjoy.
