We’re celebrating 20 years of J Dilla’s ‘Donuts’ with a brand new Anniversary Audiophile Edition. The ‘Donuts’ Audiophile Edition is lacquer cut at Bernie Grundman & manufactured at Fidelity Record Pressing – 2LP 180g vinyl at 45rpm. Deluxe art printed Stoughton jacket.
When J Dilla made ‘Donuts’, he was 31 years old & widely celebrated as a producer of rare talent, having worked with Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, & De La Soul, among many others. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of obscure jazz, funk, & soul, &, as a talented drummer in his own right, he brought a rare sense of groove to the samples he chopped up on his trusty Akai MPC.
‘Donuts’ began simply enough – an idea to turn a good demo tape into a full-length album. It would end up being one of the defining works of Dilla’s life. Completed during the year Dilla spent in & out of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, & released on his birthday, Feb. 7, 2006, ‘Donuts’ gained particular poignancy when he died three days later on Feb. 10th.
