About this album
Dilla was literally tracking these beats from his hospital bed while the machines were hooked up to him. He was losing his motor skills, yet he still chopped samples with more precision than any mofo with two healthy hands. Stones Throw released it on his 32nd birthday. He died three days later. That ain't just a record. That's a fucking final statement. Since you already have the heavy hitters from your Stones Throw shelf, look at what else that label was pumping out during that golden era. You're already deep into the Jaylib and Oh No catalog. These recommendations pull from the same pool of crate-diggers and beat-smiths who were redefining how a sampler could act as a goddamn instrument.
