J Dilla (Aka Jay Dee): Ruff Draft (Instrumental) (Vinyl LP)

Usually ships in 3-6 business days

Before we get this started, let me explain it. It's Ruff Draft. For my real niggaz only... Sound like it's straight from the ma'f*ckin' cassette!... Let's do it. ... Thus begins Ruff Draft. These self-produced tracks make up one of the late J Dilla's least known works during his lifetime. Released on vinyl only in February 2003 this sought-after release was elusive and virtually unknown to the casual Dilla fan until Stones Throw's reissue in 2007. Recorded in the wake of a failed deal with major label MCA, Dilla returned to solo recordings as a fiercely independent artist with Ruff Draft. These are the instrumentals from the infamous, the official, Ruff Draft. Let's Take It Back, Reckless Driving, Nothing Like This, The $, Make 'Em NV, Crushin' (Yeeeeaah!), Intro (Alt.), Wild, Take Notice, Shouts (Alt.)
