"With his new album, Donuts, J Dilla completes his transplant from Detroit to sunny L.A. It's 44 minutes of straight heat -- filled with brand new, original instrumentals straight from the mind of one of the very best producers in hip hop at the top of his game. All the hallmarks of the Dilla sound are here. His signature recipe of classic soul and modern electronic makes for pure, raw hip hop music. Without guest rappers, and without commercial compromise, Donuts showcases Dilla's amazing versatility like nothing he's done before. Fans will recognize that a new phase has begun, and this is the only place to hear it first. Dilla extracts beats from all kinds of sources to develop a sound that's fresher than Krispy Kreme. It's that soul heritage from Detroit City, born and raised around funk, jazz, R&B and classical. All kinds of musical styles have inspired his legendary career."
