J Dillalude.


"J Dillalude" * Robert Glasper IN MY ELEMENT LP (2007)


HSD will have an entire month dedicated to the greatness that is James Yancey, best known as Jay Dee or JDilla (one of the best producers and beat makers in the history of Hip Hop music). But for now I wanted to share this interlude (or Dillalude as he calls it) from jazz pianist Robert Glasper's album "In My Element".

I love hearing Hip Hop in non traditional forms, and Glasper's interpretation of some of Dilla's best work is a must hear. I came across this song on a podcast called Yoruba Soul earlier this year and I've been spending the greater part of 2007 looking for this CD.

*please disregard the Q-Tip voice mail message at the start of the track.
