Hot on the still-smokin’ heels of Illa J’s debut album Yancey Boys, comes…Yancey Boys -Instrumentals.

Thirteen beats created by the one and only James Yancey (aka Jay Dee aka J Dilla). Raw uncut Jay Dee goodness, heard first on Illa J’s debut album Yancey Boys. These beats date from 1995-98, created during Jay Dee’s tenure at Delicious Vinyl including his work on the Pharcyde’s sophomore LP, Labcabincalifornia. Madly prolific, Jay Dee left these previously untouched beats behind. They were in the Delicious Vinyl vault for a whopping thirteen years before, in a case of manifest destiny, Dilla’s younger brother John “Illa J” Yancey added his vocals to them to make the album Yancey Boys.

Now fans can get the raw material that Illa J worked with. From “We Here’s kraut-tastic sizzle to the bumpadelic rumpus of “R U Listenin”
From the dusted satin of “Sounds Like Love” to the torqued out dreamscape of “All Good,” these beats are all keepers.

As an added bonus, San Francisco’s DJ King Most whipped up a Mega Mix of the instrumentals. You can download that here.
