Stones Throw Podcast #17: Thank You Jay Dee, Act 2, Mixed by J. Rocc.

A year after the passing of J Dilla, J. Rocc continued his Thank You Jay Dee series, with this one. It was planned this as a three part series. It became four, mixed and released via Stones Throw Podcast over the course of three years.

Happy Birthday Jay Dee

Mayer Hawthorne – Maybe So/Gangsta Luv (Live at Direct to Disc #1) by stonesthrow

Off that In Search of Stoney Jackson LP. Pick it up if you haven’t done so already.

How did this slip by me… In Search of Stoney Jackson in stores now.

Detroit veteran Guilty Simpson and Cali’s own Madlib debut their collabo album, O.J. Simpson. This one was long awaited and so for those who can’t wait any longer, you can purchase the digital release from Stones Throw yet the street date is May 18. This is my sheeeit!

OJ Simpson. That’s the name of the album. No bloody gloves. No Ford Broncos. These are some 12 hard-hitting hip-hop tracks featuring Guilty’s inimitable baritone, and an equal number of Madlib’s signature album-as-soundtrack/radio/sideshow arrangements, where the beat & sequence is as important as the rap. This, with a couple no-nonsense guest appearances, some cuts by J.Rocc, and a whole bunch of attitude, makes up one of our favorite projects in a while.
