J Dilla – “Gangsta Boogie” feat. Snoop Dogg x Kokane
April 13, 2016
Playing this, it sounds just like you’d expect “Gangsta Boogie” to sound. Snoop & Kokane do the right things lacing this special J Dilla track. And make no mistake, all of the late great Dilla’s tracks are special. But this one, just that much more so because it is off “The Diary.”
The Estate of James Yancey has revived J Dilla’s longstanding company PayJay as a functioning imprint to release Dilla’s long lost vocal album, “The Diary” on April 15th, in conjunction with Mass Appeal Records. Initially intended for release in 2002, “The Diary” is the final batch of unissued material that Dilla had assembled for release during his lifetime.
