On June 2nd, possibly the best posthumous rap record since the final releases of 2Pac and Biggie (© Rolling Stone Magazine) will be released. Executive produced by Ma Dukes.
Jay Stay Paid is a 28 track collection of unreleased Dilla beats mixed and arranged by Pete Rock. While mostly instrumental, J$P also offers a few guests vocals from artists that Dilla worked with or admired including Black Thought of The Roots, MF DOOM, Havoc of Mobb Deep, M.O.P. , Raekwon and more.
Hit the jump for the full artwork, tracklist and more info from the press release…
Curtailing any notion of jumping on some sort of Dilla bangwagon, Jay Stay Paid was executive produced by Dilla’s mother Maureen Yancey (aka Ma Dukes) along with the musical supervision of Dilla’s only real musical idol, Pete Rock. “It wasn’t rushed and it wasn’t haphazard,” explains Ms Yancey. “This album combines what he did in the beginning of his career, what he did in some of our early hospital stays, which was very deep, and some stuff pulled from old floppy disks & DATs. Its mind blowing…this is like the missing links to Dilla’s legacy.”
The format of the album plays like a radio show with Pete Rock as the program director. With regards to Pete’s involvement, Ms. Yancey gets very excited, “Dilla wanted to pattern himself behind Pete. His dream was to become as close as possible to what Pete stood for. Pete meant everything to him. Dilla would have just been flabbergasted! ” Pete’s sentiments were the same toward Dilla, “Dude was amazing. He just kinda came outta nowhere and the more you heard his beats the better they got. He may not be here with us, but it’s all good we’re going to keep his music alive and well.”

Looking Forward To This
wow… havoc on a dilla beat? and its about time MOP was actually on a beat as opposed to dilla just sampling their vocals here and there. lol
ur favorite producers favorite producer
wow, no SV?!?!
SO is this one of those tapes where the proceeds actually go to his family then? I saw the executive producer credit so one would think but you never know … crooked ass record labels.
YES
yeah, pure excitement.
oooohh that’s dope! the first 2 leaks are killin it already!
i’m suprised to see Diz Gibran on the album.. that’s dope. i wonder what the connection with Diz & Dilla was.
Blu…… wow, this is gonna be dope!!
ahhhhh man damn, im coppn this asap!!
j.dilla knows i shoulda won the illa contest, so u owe me 1 when i get up top j. real talk. peace and GOD Bless!
HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn. no elzhi?
J Dilla+Pete Rock+Blu+Havoc= Most anticipated album of the year BY FAR. RIP J DILLA
seeing diz gibran on the track list threw me for a spin. that should be something special.
Prolly gonna be the greatest album of my entire lifetime.
But yo, is that the official album cover? I ask cuz I saw that on deviantart a long time ago. Maybe Nature Sounds purchased it from the original digital aritst?
this album is most likely going into my collection as the one i dont make copies for nobody this will legendary i feel
damn. nature-sounds.net said that pac div was gonna be on here too. i hope that song really exists.
lol @ “…possibly the best posthumous rap record since the final releases of 2Pac and Biggie (© Rolling Stone Magazine)…”
