J Dilla: Wild / Make ‘Em NV 12’

Limited edition 12″ from Stones Throw containing previously unreleased tracks from Jay Dee’s Ruff Draft sessions! While that “vintage material” tag would spell “pass” for other artists, Dilla turns this ish into a double A-side (would you expect anything less?). “Wild” is exactly that – Jay flows over a stuttering, off-kilter beat while a little British kid butchers Quiet Riot’s “Cum On Feel The Noize” (correction: Slade wrote it) on the hook (but in a cute way). “Make ‘Em NV” appears in a re-mixed and remastered version here, different from how it sounded back in 2003, but it still hits hard. Includes dirty, clean and instrumental versions for both track. Now housed in proper 12″ sleeve with screened graphics designed by Jeff Jank.
