Under the reverent direction of Pete Rock, J Dilla’s posthumous, 28-track mix highlights guest spots by both hip-hop legends (Black Thought, Doom) and lesser-knowns (Frank Nitty, Cue D), the variety of which throws the full weight of Dilla’s production savvy into the sad vacuum left by his death at 32. Sadly, the guy was just getting started, but he could already mix circles (er, donuts) around almost every producer of his generation. --Jason Kirk
Product Description
Jay Stay Paid is a 25 track collection of unreleased Dilla beats mixed and arranged by Pete Rock. While mostly instrumental, "J$P" also offers a few guest vocals from artists that Dilla worked with or admired including Black Thought (The Roots), DOOM, M.O.P., Blu and more. Executive produced by Dilla's mom Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey. Musical supervisor, Pete Rock: "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 disks & DATs. It's mind blowing...this is like the missing links to Dilla's legacy."

I really can't say this album is better than "Donuts" because that was a special album for myself and many but Jay Stay Paid is a much "harder" album than the previous....HARDCORE!

I am an big time JDilla fan, hear is a testament to what good music can do to affect your everyday life in a positive way. Peace to Ma Dukes and Pete Rock for blessing us with more from your favorite producers favorite producers. It is such a tragedy that with all of the contributions this brother gave to hip-hop he still somehow goes under the radar with all of this bubble gum pop-hop that is readily available to lull you back to sleep. WAAAAKKEE UUUP!! Cop this if you havne't already Power Equal D.J. Rod-ex

Some of J Dilla's unused beats have been put together for this album.
A few of them have rhyming on top, many do not.
The beats are fantastic, it gets my five stars for the beats alone.
Innovative and funky, mixing samples and keyboards.
Some of J Dilla's best work, one of the albums of the year.
