J Dilla Rarities Compilation Motor City Announced
J Dilla’s mother, Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey, has curated a new collection of rare and unreleased Dilla instrumentals. The set is titled Motor City and it’s due out April 21. CD and vinyl editions are packaged in a limited-edition mailing envelope with a handwritten message from Ma Dukes to Dilla, illustrating the album’s concept as a “‘letter’ to her son.” The LP also comes with a download code for a mix of the album by Dilla’s friend and collaborator J Rocc. Listen to “Motor City J. Rocc Blend #1” below. Also, take a look at the album’s deluxe edition package, which comes with a flexi 7″, a shirt, cassette, and slipmat. Motor City is available to pre-order now via J Dilla’s online store.
