Questlove just dropped a shitload of music via Twitter and man is this beautiful! The Roots did a bunch of Dilla tribute joints and it’s simply amazing how beautiful this sounds. Please enjoy these and may Dilla rest in power.

J Rocc (third member of Jaylib so to speak), put together this mixtape of Dilla, Madlib and Jaylib songs, as well as some of their sources, essentially telling the story of this group. Stones Throw had some promo copies of this CD floating around for a while that year, then took the Jaylib section and pressed it on a 45, which was released as the bonus 45 with “Champion Sound”. Both the CD and 45 are long out of stock. The photos were taken by B+ of Madlib in his studio in L.A. and Dilla in his in Detroit.
