If you're a Dilla die hard, then this news is going to make your day. Obviously you know about the Nas/Mass Appeal backed upcoming posthumous Dilla project The Diary that is coming on April 15th (and if you didn't, then hey, now you do), but now news has broke that Dilla's mother, Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey and Dilla's estate "Dillatronic" are going to officially re-release an earlier posthumous project, Jay Love Japan in full (an official CD of the project was released in 2008 but quickly went out of print). Jay Love Japan will feature both instrumentals and vocal versions of a total of 11 tracks, and is set for release on May 6th.
Jay Love Japan will also feature tracks that were previously released as bootlegs, only now as official releases! And the best part of it all, you can stream 2 new Dilla joints below, the first being a song by the name of "Sun In My Face" featuring Blu, and a singer who was known back then by the name of Miguel Jontel (sounds familiar, hm?). The second cut is an instrumental that was released earlier this week, "The Look". Listen to both below.
