J Dilla - Ruff Draft (Instrumental)

Release Date:02/14/2012;Notes:"Before we get this started, let me explain it. It's Ruff Draft. For my real niggaz only... Sound like it's straight from the ma'f*ckin' cassette!... Let's do it." ... Thus begins Ruff Draft. These self-produced tracks make up one of the late J Dilla's least known works during his lifetime. Released on vinyl only in February 2003 this sought-after release was elusive and virtually unknown to the casual Dilla fan until Stones Throw's reissue in 2007. Recorded in the wake of a failed deal with major label MCA, Dilla returned to solo recordings as a fiercely independent artist with Ruff Draft. These are the instrumentals from the infamous, the official, Ruff Draft.;Track List:1. Let's Take It Back;2. Reckless Driving;3. Nothing Like This;4. The $;5. Make 'Em NV;6. Crushin' (Yeeeeaah!);7. Intro (Alt.);8. Wild;9. Take Notice;10. Shouts (Alt.)
