You can assign your own flair (for the time being). Pick a song and, in parenthesis, tell us what release we can find it on.

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.
Did yall watch erykah's interview on breakfast club? she spoke on dilla and it was amazing. I miss that dude.
I could've sworn Dilla produced Vivrant Thing, but Wikipedia says that Q-Tip produced it. I could just be wrong tho.
Posted up last time just the Pic. So, I had to hit yall with some live sounds too.
This image was used for the original Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1 release
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!
I have no idea where this clip is from tho...
I've been trying to figure this out for the past month and I have no idea how he did it. It's driving me insane. Someone PLEASE tell me how he flipped that shit.
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!
Miguel Atwood Ferguson just posted this on his IG - 50 years of Dilla in Amsterdam: Suite For Ma Dukes.
Still sounds incredible. Not sure how long it will be up for so If anyone is able to get the download, please let me know.
