"Since his untimely death at the all too young age of 32 the world has grown to appreciate the work of J Dilla even more than when he was alive. There's an ethereal quality to Jay Dee's works, part boom bap but more mellow. Mellow, but never soft. And Dilla never stopped making beats, his MPC was by his side until the very end. It now resides in the Smithsonian. Due the prolific nature of his beat making, the world is blessed to have stacks of Dilla material -- some coming to light even this many years after his passing. In the world of hip hop, no one's mother is more famous that Ma Dukes. Go ahead, name check Chuck D's mom or Chance the Rapper's mom or TI's mother -- without hitting Google. And one of the reasons we all know Ma Dukes is her tireless effort to maintain Dilla's legacy. This release is yet another step in that direction. Presented here, from the Official Ma Dukes Collection, are 15 works by Jay Dee from deep in the vaults, being released on vinyl for the first time."

"Jay Dee a.k.a. J Dilla is widely regarded as one of the greatest producers in hip hop history. The E-Mu Systems SP-1200 drum machine and sampler was the first electronic instrument Jay Dee worked with while crafting the incomparable styles and sounds which defined the early stages of his legendary production. The SP-1200 was his primary tool of choice at the inception of his career. During this period, he created classics for early Slum Village, The Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, among many others. After careful study and curation this one of a kind collection compiles the well-deserved documentation of Jay Dee's early musical masterpieces. Ma Dukes assembled a team of industry family who spent nine months working daily to bring this project to J Dilla fans everywhere. The King Of Beats feature's 40 tracks from Jay Dee's groundbreaking 'Batches' created using his SP-1200. In addition the CD release contains 'The Lost Scrolls' and an additional 15 cuts created by Dilla on his MPC which was recently donated to the Smithsonian for their National Museum of African American History and Culture scheduled to open to the public in 2016. The King Of Beats is more than a collection of Dilla's unheard works, it's a glimpse inside the mind of a creative genius, a view into Dilla's artistic process and a must have for any who call themselves a fan of his musical legacy."
