J Dilla and Busta Rhymes Release New Album ‘Dillagence 2’: Listen

After a long period of anticipation and a collective desire to hear the signature production style of the late, legendary producer J Dilla, the music community finally has the project it has been waiting for. Dillagence II, a collaborative album featuring the late icon and Busta Rhymes, is officially out now.

In previous discussions, Busta Rhymes has revealed that Dilla entrusted him as the custodian of a vast archive of beats—reportedly numbering around 300—many of which have remained unheard by the public until now. It is a fitting tribute to their creative synergy that we are finally hearing Busta Rhymes rhyming over these unearthed gems, and he remains in exceptional form throughout the project.

In case you have forgotten the sheer genius of Dilla, or if you simply want to indulge in a moment of pure hip-hop nostalgia, this project is essential listening. Experience the album for yourself below:
