    !llmind “Happy B-Day J Dilla” Release | @illmindPRODUCER

    20130207-JDILLAILLMIND

    #dilla

    J Dilla, what more can I say about the man that hasn’t been said already. He’s one of the greatest. When I started messing with beat making in the late 90’s, he was the one producer I studied. I still study him, to this day. During a time period of about 5 years, I was in “beat-making-boot-camp”, or “5 beats a day for 3 summers” as Kanye would say. I trained my ear and was inspired by Dilla the whole time. This is a collection of 4 beats (out of thousands) that I made during that time period. I hope you enjoy! Rest in power J Dilla. Forever. – !llmind

    Skyzoo “Theo vs J.J. (Dreams vs Reality)” Release | @Skyzoo

    Skyzoo Theo vs JJ

    Skyzoo is back at it with his brand new Theo vs J.J. (Dreams vs Reality) mixtape. I’ve yet to give it a listen, but he’s saying it’s some of his best work. That’s enough for me. The production was handled by !llmind, Jahlil Beats, Tha S Ence, Thelonious Martin, Hasan Insane, Praise, 14KT, and Mel & D, and include features from Torae and Open. Stream the entire project, and grab the project from the 2 links provided.

    “With this project, I wanted it to be a bridge between “The Great Debater” and “A Dream Deferred”. This mixtape literally picks up where “The Great Debater” left off and leads you directly into “A Dream Deferred”. The tape is split into 2 parts, Theo Huxtable and JJ Evans. The first half of the tape has me rhyming as if I were Theo, with the world from his point of view. Being well off, having to live up to a family’s expectations due to their success, etc. The second half is from JJ’s view, with the sound being slightly more aggressive and the stories built with an “in need of something” attitude. The tape is the idea of the vast contrasts of a life that my people and I dreamed of and aspired to as kids (Theo) versus a life that was more of our reality (J.J). This one is for US. Enjoy” – Skyzoo
