This latest posthumous J Dilla release is a collection of beats mixed by Pete Rock and overseen by Dilla’s mother, their caring influence assuring that this is far more than what you’d expect, with beats fit to rival the man’s best material wonderfully sequenced and framed as a radio show hosted by Rock; the beats themselves are inventive and eclectically imagined and the guest appearances – while often unnecessary – are certainly well-intentioned.
