THE FRESHEST: JAY $TAY PAID

3 years after Dilla's life was taken by complications from Lupus, it is still obvious that he has still left us with so much more music, and most of it floating around on blogs and Z-Shares- alike for the free download route. Well this is not one of those 'unofficial' albums right here. I've heard many previews and bit's and pieces of this album in the making and can tell you that this has that raw feel that DONUTS had. JAY $TAY PAID had the blessing and is Executive Produced by Ms. Yancey, which makes it even that much more special. Dilla's Idol, Pete Rock, mixes the tracks and is responsible for the arrangement. Most of the tracks are instrumentals, as they should be, but cameos by MF DOOM,Black Thought of the Roots, the homie BLU, and others round out the album.

"It wasn't rushed and it wasn't haphazard," explains Ms Yancey. "This album combines what he did in the beginning of his career, what he did in some of our early hospital stays, which was very deep, and some stuff pulled from old floppy disks & DATs. Its mind blowing...this is like the missing links to Dilla's legacy."
