Sunset Blvd

KingUnderground & Delicious Vinyl present a lovingly re-issued version of this sought after and seminal hip-hop record, with all beats by J Dilla, featuring Common, Talib Kweli, Posdnuos, T-3 & Guilty Simpson, and the first time re-issued on vinyl since 2013.

Back in 2008, just two years after James Yancey aka J Dilla’s passing, Mike Ross,
founder of Delicious Vinyl, presented J Dilla’s mother Maureen Yancey (aka Ma
Dukes), with a vault of unreleased beats from her late son. Following Dilla’s childhood
friend (and longtime collaborator) Frank Nitty (Of Frank N’ Dank) was a part of a group
of confidants, who lovingly went through the treasure chest of music, formulating a
tribute to their departed friend the best way they knew how. With hundreds upon
hundreds of instrumentals to choose from, Nitty and Dilla’s brother Illa J narrowed the
pile down to a collection of about 50 tracks, some of which would become the building
blocks of their debut 2013 Yancey Boys album, ‘Sunset Blvd’. Upon its release in 2013,
the LP (which featured appearances from Hip-Hop royalty including Common, Talib
Kweli, Posdnuos, T-3 & Guilty Simpson) became an instant classic, gaining
recognition from tastemakers across the world.
