Donuts - 20th Anniversary Audiophile Edition (Vinyle)When J Dilla, aka Detroits James Yancey, made Donuts, he was 31 years old and widely celebrated as a producer of rare talent, having worked with Erykah Badu, DAngelo, and De La Soul, among many others. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of obscure jazz, funk, and soul, and, as a talented drummer in his own right, he brought a rare sense of groove to the samples he chopped up on his trusty Akai MPC.
