J Dilla - ‘Donuts’ (2006)


If you like swing, funk, soul and a bit of hip hop then look no further than Donuts by J Dilla. Mixed in the same ilk as Girltalk, 31 tracks all seamlessly blended into one lovely head bopping moment you’ll appreciate it all the way. Unfortunately Dilla died in 2006 at the age of 32 and so this is his last work but by gee he has done an excellent job by bringing old skool beats up to date with samples from James Brown, Kool and the Gang and the Jackson 5. Ill not do an in-depth review as each song only lasts about a minute or so, my recommendation is that you hire an open top Cadillac drive through New York in the summer with one of the fire hydrants going off in the background and you’ll know what I mean.
