MENTAL COMBAT

A MENTAL COMBAT DEDICATION
JAY DEE passed away 10/Feb/2006

This is pretty crap news. I'm sure everyones aware of it by now. So I thought I'd go ballistic & go through my CDs & iTunes files to collect a 'Best Of' to upload. Unfortunately I didn't realise how much I had of his music & so I had to upload a decent selection. 45 tracks to be precise. I tried to only include mostly remixes or tracks from other artist's albums.

I remember speaking to someone who worked with him a few years ago & I asked why his beats sometimes sounded wonky & he told me that, like Madlib, Dilla never quantized his beats. No wonder they both hooked up to form Jaylib with this unusual signature sound.

In brief...

This week was the official the release of his latest album, Dilla Donuts on Stonesthrow & we have this very untimely demise of one of the mainstayers in hip hop production. The Detroit native James Yancey unfortunately succumbed to an illness that has been plaguing him for a few years. Anyone who has witnessed images of him in recent years have noticed a very obvious weight loss. He had moved back to his mothers house about 3 years ago after he had been diagnosed with the rare immune disease, Lupus, which affects your kidney & livers. This results in the use of a dialysis machine. Rumours abound that he was also suffering from malnutrition due to his Madlib like workaholic nature. For more info check here.

I'm not sure what new music he had coming out, apart from the track he did for Ghostface's Fish Scale LP, the track is Whip You With a Strap. And I think he did a track for the new Skillz LP.

Funeral services will be held in LA on Tues 14th Feb.
