A year to the day of Jay Dee’s untimely death and the blog world is rightly filled with tributes to the brilliant catalogue of beats the producer left us with.
Not having anything unheard to add to the tributes out there I thought instead I’d just share a few of my favourite tracks that Dilla reinvented for his beats. It may just be a coincidence but to me what many of these originals share is a deep rooted soulfulness similar to the great beats that the man delivered time and time again during his lifetime.
While I tend to shy away from breaks posts the quality of tracks produced from the great songs above is justification in it’s own right. May his music be celebrated for many years to come.

much respect for this post. Dilla was one of the best and his work on De La's – Stakes Is High and the manipulation of Swahililand is a perfect example.
I miss Dilla so bad. It's crazy. He is unquestionably my favorite producer of all time. His music is a big part of my life. Rest in peace.
Keep up the blog work, it's great you guys.
that cyrkle joint was used on….?
r.i.p. dilla dog
ATCQ's Get A Hold off Beats Rhymes & Life – think it might be used on Donuts as well but I must confess to not being that familiar with the album yet.
Thanks alot. That shit is amazing.
Just found that blog and its really dope.
nice one Junior!
awesome dude, thank you for bringing it, and staying on point for so long. it's much appreciated.
good lookin' on the dilla posts. the cyrcle flip is a classic example of why dilla's the GOAT (as is most of his stuff off of BR+L). you listen to the flip, then you listen to the original source and you're like wha-? how? he did what with that?
Great post, I just wanted to add a podcast I recently uploaded featuring nothing but Dilla originals, after having heard that, one can only agree with what you're saying here: it's deeprooted soulfulness of the master!
