Brand new J Dilla tribute mix featuring all Dilla all the time. 20 tracks of nothing but killer Dilla tracks. Far and away, my favorites are the two Ghostface tracks. He was made for those beats. (Whip Me With A Strap was originally called “One for Ghost” on the Donuts album.) Course picking your favorites on this album is like picking favorites when you have kids.

I really just want to see Justice but seeing as there are a whole snapload of ironically cool bands, I think I’m going to bite the bullet. I’ll totally make up for it somehow, hmmm…
