The Diary

J Dilla

Recorded in Detroit during the early 2000s, this project brings the producer to the forefront as a rapper. It highlights a gritty, soulful style that was often overshadowed by his technical work in the studio.

The record includes appearances from peers like Pete Rock and Madlib, rooting the project firmly in the authentic boom-bap aesthetic. It stands as a document of a creator operating at his peak before his passing.
