Product description

"Yancey Boys" is the debut studio album from Detroit-based rapper and singer Illa J, a heartfelt tribute to his late brother, the legendary J Dilla. Released in 2008 under Delicious Vinyl, this album is a treasure trove of previously unheard beats crafted by J Dilla between 1995 and 1998. Illa J masterfully weaves his vocals over these timeless instrumentals, creating a seamless blend of jazz and hip-hop that pays homage to his brother's enduring legacy.

The album features 13 tracks, each a testament to J Dilla's unique production style, characterized by intricate drum patterns and soulful samples. Illa J's smooth vocals and thoughtful lyrics add a personal touch, making "Yancey Boys" a deeply intimate and authentic listening experience. Standout tracks like "We Here" and "Sounds Like Love" showcase the album's blend of nostalgic beats and modern lyricism.

With a runtime of just under 47 minutes, "Yancey Boys" is a concise yet powerful collection that highlights the creative genius of both Illa J and J Dilla. This album is not just a musical release; it's a celebration of family, creativity, and the enduring impact of J Dilla's musical legacy. Whether you're a longtime fan of J Dilla or a newcomer to his work, "Yancey Boys" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience that underscores the timeless appeal of his production.

This 2023 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on Clear vinyl.

    My copies are see-through, with one being green and the other white. Both records are in good shape. The white one had a bit of dirt on it, but that's no big deal. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. By the way, some of these beats have been slowed down for this album. You can find some of these same beats on Dilla's tapes, in their original form. I think there are a couple of beats from '94 in there too.

    Mine's got a see-through darker green and a see-through orange. The edges are crisp. It looks awesome. The sound's alright, a tad flat. Probably didn't need that vinyl stuff. I'm kinda tempted to rap over it.

    Awesome vinyl shade, it's like a vintage glass Coke bottle. The sound isn't mind-blowing but it's definitely crisp.
