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!

This album is very good and I could not recommend it more. for those who liked donuts, there are some really good donut-ish instrumental tracks on this cd as well as a good mix of guest appearances. in my opinion it is the perfect mixture of instrumentals and songs with lyrics and flows very well from song to song.
