I need help finding the name of a dilla beat.

It sounded very similar to La La La, it was a snippet, there were some background vocals, i remember there being a comment saying something like “I might post the whole thing” and another comment being like “this was for (a female artist, I can’t remember whom.)” not sure if this helps, but it is something atleast.

Who actually produced Vivrant Thing?

I could've sworn Dilla produced Vivrant Thing, but Wikipedia says that Q-Tip produced it. I could just be wrong tho.

J DILLA - JUNGLE LOVE (INSTRUMENTAL)

I need help finding a dollar deep cut. The song is stuck in my head but I can't remember the same so I can't search it.

Edit: sorry about the auto correct I meant "dilla" not dollar.

The song features a very long loop of some stringed instrument that is being plucked (idk if it's a harp). The loop comes from some classical artist of either Japanese or Italian descent. I could humm the melody for you but I don't know how to post that.

I first heard the song on soulection radio sometime before the summer of 2018. I know this because I remember playing that song over and over on the way to taking my last final to determine if I'd graduate college that year. The song had mysterious anticipatory energy that matched how I felt because I was a borderline passing student for that particular class.

I think the artwork for that song was like an old photo shaded green blue or something in between. At the time I'm certain that I could listen to that track I. Either Spotify or SoundCloud.

Holy shit this is annoying!

J-Dilla sites to visit when in Detroit?

Will be in Detroit early November and wondering if there's any J-Dilla landmarks I should check out. Will be taking in Melodies & Memories record shop - I read that was one of his favorite record shops - but wondering if there's any other spots highly recommended. Thanks!
