J Dilla's eternal masterpiece, Donuts. What more can you even say about this one? The Detroit genius’s swan song remains one of our favorite albums of all time, and there’s no doubt its soulful magic ended up inspiring everything behind the making of PV back in 2018. Not a single day goes by that we don’t think of this record. It’s a must-have masterwork for any fan’s collection.
Dilla assembles the Beastie Boys, 10cc, Dionne Warwick, Zappa, the Jackson 5, Raymond Scott, Bruce Haack, and countless others into an abstract, psychedelic collage that defies categorization. 31 tracks of timeless beauty from one of the greatest producers ever. It’s rather difficult for us to imagine that it’s been 20 years since Dilla left this earthly plane, but we’re forever grateful that he left us such a special gift before he departed. Perfection.
