Later this month, Kenny Dixon Jr's Mahogani Music will release a collection of previously unreleased music by J Dilla called Dillatroit.

The 12-track "EP" comes six years after J Dilla, also known as Jay Dee (or James Dewitt Yancey), died of cardiac arrest at the age of 32. While he was alive the Detroit native churned out a still-undetermined number of productions, both for his own records and for A-list rappers and rap groups like Busta Rhymes, Mos Def and A Tribe Called Quest. He's become a cult figure in the years since his death, thanks in part to a series of posthumous albums and his now-classic Donuts LP, which hit stores three days before he died.

Mohagani music will release Dillatroit in collaboration with two organizations run by J Dilla's family: Yancey Media Group and The J Dilla Foundation, the latter of which helps fund music programs in inner-city schools. It will be available exclusively on limited edition vinyl. You can hear snippets from the release on the label's SoundCloud page.

Tracklist
01. Birthright
02. Feel This Shit
03. The Best That Ever Did It
04. Lets Pray Together
05. Ride Wit It
06. Say My Name
07. Dillatroit
08. Detroit Madness
09. Possible
10. Mind Yo Business
11. Rebirth is Necessary
12. Pitfalls

Mahogani Music will release Dillatroit on May 25th, 2012.

Sun, 27 May 2012Now THIS I like. Depending if it's not costing an arm and a leg (or possibly 2 sets thereof) I might shell out for it.

Tue, 22 May 2012Nice! Limited edition wax!

@futureglue ... Might wanna go get some 1200s. Don't think moody cares about mp3ers. If you knew anything about Moody, his label or the Dilla legacy you'd probably wouldn't be surprised that its exclusive to vinyl. Gotta grab this!
