I coincidentally found this record off Okayplayer.com's website just a few minutes after reading my co-blogger's post titled "The Road To Reality Television". Ridiculous. The timing of his post, the discovery of this song, Black Thoughts' insane lyricism, and J Dilla's production prowess. This is off of an upcoming album called Jay Stay Paid. J$P is a 25 track collection of unreleased (some have leaked) Dilla beats mixed and arranged by Pete Rock. The project is mostly instrumental, but includes vocals from Black Thought, DOOM, Raekwon, Illa J, Blu, Havoc, M.O.P. and more.
