J Dilla - Ruff Draft LP (Instrumentals Dilla's Mix)

These self-produced tracks make up one of the late J Dilla's least known works during his lifetime. Released on vinyl only in February 2003 this sought-after release was elusive and virtually unknown to the casual Dilla fan until Stones Throw's reissue in 2007. Recorded in the wake of a failed deal with major label, Dilla returned to solo recordings as a fiercely independent artist with Ruff Draft. The CD contains photos from this era and detailed liner notes by Ronnie Reese discussing Dilla's career in 2002 when Ruff Draft was recorded.

Tracklist:
A1 Intro (Alternate)
A2 Wild
A3 Reckless Driving
A4 Nothing Like This
A5 The $
B1 Take Notice (feat. Guilty Simpson)
B2 Make'em NV
B3 Interlude
B4 Crushin' (Yeeaah)
B5 Rock On

Tracks on this disc were taken from J Dilla's original master tapes, where additional previously-unreleased tracks “Wild” and “Take Notice” were also discovered.
