INFO ABOUT THE ALBUM:
Dilla: The Timeless Tribute is a culmination of 6+ years work from Bristol (UK) based, IBMCs affiliated producer Vice beats. Having heard the Suite For Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson, he was inspired to create his own, unique tribute to J Dilla merging the classical and hip hop worlds to blend and infuse this new soulful, hip hop and jazz influenced composition. The Timeless Tribute features a stellar cast of musicians from around the world, brought together through a collective love of Jay Dee, and hip hop.
The project takes some well loved original Dilla pieces, and through the 40 minute journey creates new compositions, reworks, and a massive range of styles. The projects key collaborators include the incredible vocal and instrumental talent of Greg Blackman (BBE), alongside Bristol based musicians Thalassic (saxophone & flute), Vince Martin (Violin) and Audiosnax of Don’t Sleep (Ujima Radio) on vocal cuts and co-production.
