J Dilla: Dillanthology 3

By Andrew Martin

Some of this hip-hop deity's finest productions thrown together on a single disc. And as great as they are, this compilation is more a gateway than a final destination. [14 October 2009]

J Dilla: Dillanthology 2

By Michael Miller

Dilla’s strength was not that he merely incorporated disparities into a single sound, but that that sound felt natural. [9 September 2009]

J Dilla: Jay Stay Paid

By Andrew Martin

This might be a "good" record by comparison, but it just doesn't stack up to Dilla's impressive legacy. [6 July 2009]

Various Artists: Dillanthology Vol. 1

By Andrew Martin

Although it offers nothing new, this is a fine introductory piece for new or unacquainted J Dilla listeners. [31 March 2009]

J Dilla: The Shining

By Michael Frauenhofer

The problem is that while the whole of Dilla's first true posthumous release is incredibly solid and expertly crafted, it's for the most part unremarkable. [25 August 2006]

J Dilla: Donuts

By Michael Frauenhofer

The last album of a tragically-fallen legend is a tour de force of brilliant beats and unbelievable subtleties, wild experimentation and great production; but no, the title has no deeper meaning. In the label's own words, "Dilla likes donuts". [14 February 2006]
