"Pay Jay Productions, Inc. was the company James Dewitt 'J Dilla' Yancey founded in 2001 to house his production company and his publishing company. The estate of James Yancey has revived Pay Jay as a functioning imprint, and is announcing its release of J Dilla's long lost vocal album,
The Diary
. The first single features 'Anthem' and 'Trucks' -- two of the songs J Dilla recorded in late 2001 and early 2002 as he put the finishing touches on what was supposed to be an album featuring his raps over production by the likes of Madlib, Pete Rock, Nottz, House Shoes, Karriem Riggins, and others. These two tracks, however, were produced by Dilla himself and come straight from multi-track masters found on 2" tape shortly after Dilla's passing in 2006. These songs have been mixed by engineer Dave Cooley, who worked extensively with Dilla during his years in Los Angeles. Using his original demo mixes as his guide, Cooley attempted to finalize Dilla's vision for these tracks, while keeping all of the elements that Dilla had in place in his original demos present. Rounding out this 12" is Dilla's original mix of 'Trucks,' discovered as a two-track demo mix. We've included this mix as it features an alternate version of Dilla's vocals and a third verse not found on Dilla's final sessions for this song."
