J-Rocc throws it down honoring the late J-Dilla
About a week ago I received another great mix by “The Funky President”, J-Rocc. “Thank You Jay Dee, Act 2″ was a podcast put out through Stones Throw a while ago. Now the podcast along with Act 1 is available on CD.
I must say that J-Rocc in making these mixes did an outstanding job in saying farewell to a dope ass producer. Once again while I was listening to this mix, I was in awe of J-Rocc’s skills. There were a few times where he brings that Beat Junkie Style of mixing and whatnot. I’ve been a long time fan of J-Rocc after I discovered his “Sex Machine Today” CD back in 2000 while I was in the Air Force stationed in Las Vegas, NV. I had the opportunity to see him play live once while I was in Vegas.
Overall, the CD is pretty damn decent. One of my favorite parts in the mix, is the transition from “Fall in Love” to “Running.” I was laughing at that part honestly because J-Rocc made a statement with both songs. If you know the lyrics to the songs, you may be able to figure out what he may have done without listening to it.
On that note, I ask all of you to continue to support these artists so they can continue to bring you lovely tunes. They have to hustle tremendously to continue to do what they love.
LaterZzzz!
