Give Me a Baker's Dozen

















No better way to kick off a hip-hop blog than to pay homage to "your favorite producer's favorite producer." The late, great J Dilla and what I believe to be his finest work, Donuts. This album was released on February 7, 2006, just three days before his death. 31 tracks. All around a minute or two in length. No lyrics here. Just samples, beats and melodies. This album has the power to change my mood in an instant. Listen and you'll understand.
