Donuts: Original Samples

In remembrance of James Dewitt Yancey (aka Jay Dee, aka J Dill) who passed away on this day in 2006, I thought it would be appropriate to compile the samples used for his 2006 release, Donuts. Released on February 7, 2007 on Dilla’s 32nd birthday and only 3 days before his death, Donuts will be remembered as some of Jay Dee’s best work.

Make sure you check out my Producer’s Spotlight on J Dilla to read more about this amazing producer and hear some of my favorite tracks produced by him.

J Dilla will always be remembered and his beats will forever live on. May his soul rest in peace.
