    J DILLA Makes Music From Beyond The Grave!! Incredible! (Podcast & EP) – LISTEN via @lisafordblog

    February 7, 2020 /

    I'm reporting on one of the best interviews and chronicles in Hip Hop history. It's an incredible tale on how producer extraordinaire, J DILLA, comes back from the grave, to release some of the world's most beautiful music. This mesmerizing story begins with the narrative of vintage album shop owner, Jeff Blue Back, of UHF Records in Detroit, an avid vinyl record collector since early childhood.

    NAS surprised fans at the Run The Jewels fan appreciation event by launching his new single, "The Season", produced by J Dilla...the best producer in Hip Hop history, in my opinion. This new track and collaboration are perfect and it gives me hope that Nas' new album will be something serious. The song starts at the 1:53 mark.

    THE PHARCYDE’s – “Runnin” (Prod. By J Dilla) Has Latin Roots. LISA FORD’S Ipod Pick

    December 7, 2013 /

    "RUNNIN' by THE PHARCYDE with J. DILLA's masterful production, frees my mind and takes me to a happy place. From the chorus to Slim Kid Tre's harmonic lyrical freestyle in the middle of the song, you can literally get high off this hit without drinking or smoking anything. "RUNNIN" is the first single from The Pharcyde's second album "Labcabincalifornia" in 1995. I wish this song was an hour long so I could just mellow out to it forever on repeat.
