Diggin' In The Digits

On Ep.93 of DITD: A retrospective on the one & only J Dilla. Looking at his solo work and how spotty it is, considering how deified Dilla's legacy is.

Show Notes

J Dilla is the patron saint of Hip-Hop production. The man that took a simple MPC and unlocked its true potential, making some of the greatest beats of All-Time, a seemingly endless vault and two classic albums in is last days. We go through five Dilla albums, varying in quality and shines a light on a little talked about the duality that Dilla holds from being a producer and an MC.
