Check out the new and improved Bling47 for all the fresh content.
Happy Birthday Dilla.
Created in 2006, this remembrance piece is created as a tribute to the memory and legacy of James “J.Dilla” Yancey. This is a piece designed for his fans and supporters who knew of his accomplishments before February 2006 and those that have grown to appreciate his genius. Here, we gain a greater insight and understanding about our musical icon.

House Shoes - The King James Version Volume 1, Chapters 1-5
I remember ordering this the day it dropped a few years back, but House Shoes just liberated this gem for all on Twitter. The album is comprised entirely of vinyl samples that James Yancey used. It’s phenomenal.
