Yop. I'd like very much to attend this. I missed that Black Milk release party, and I heard that was the bee's knees, sew...this'll suffice. For those of you who don't know who Illa J is, I did an entry a while back on his new album, Yancey Boys. Plus, House Shoes is rocking the spot...and that's a must see, along with the angular vulgarities of Danny Brown's performance. So, if you're in Detroit on the 26th of Nov. [pronounced "nahv"], go ahead and get your seven bucks worth.
Oh, you don't know who he is? That's a probble for you, especially if you consider yourself a Dilla fan. Yeah...major probble.
Illa J's J Dilla's younger bro. [Notice the vernacular similarities.] He produces, raps, and sings a little.
Well, in any event, Illa J's debut album, Yancey Boys, has leaked into the blogosphere. The album is made entirely from previously unreleased Dilla tracks [hence the title, Yancey Boys {peep Illa J's right eye}]. It's pretty chill as a whole, making for good nighttime riding [read: weed smoking] music. Peep the track listing:
01. Timeless 03:11 02. We Here 04:10 03. R U Listenin'? (feat. Guilty Simpson) 04:20 04. Alien Family (By Frank Nitty) 02:18 05. Strugglin' 03:23 06. Showtime 03:45 07. Swagger 03:33 08. Mr. Shakes (a.k.a. Affion Crockett) (Skit) 00:44 09. DFTF (feat. Affion Crockett) 04:24 10. All Good 03:05 11. Sounds Like Love (feat. Debi Nova) 03:25 12. Everytime 04:32 13. Illasoul 03:48 14. Air Signs 03:26
Alright, you know the routine: click the pic, jack the track.

Have you listened? Good. Now...where's that sample from?
