“I heard a hater say I’d never be more than J. Dilla’s little brother, I’d never be more than an insignificant other, I’d never be more than a video stand-in, but here I am, still standing” – Illa J
Today marks the release of Sunset Blvd, an album collection of never before heard J Dilla beats rhymed over by his little brother John “Illa J” Yancey and J Dilla Music Catalog Curator Frank Nitt. To celebrate, the duo has dropped a video for “Quicksand” featuring Common and singer Dezi Paige.
The album, which features additional guest spots with Talib Kweli, J. Rocc, Guilty Simpson, T3 and others, can be purchased HERE.
