House Shoes Mines J Dilla's Sample Catalogue w/ 'King James Vol. III' Mix
It's no secret just how passionate House Shoes is about preserving J Dilla's legacy. In fact, much of his stance echoes my own in terms of the sanctity of those recordings and coming to terms with the fact that it just might be best for the world not to hear what's left in the bag, but that's another thinkpiece entirely. Today House Shoes continues his crate-diggers trove of a mix series The King James Version with a third installment, mining Dilla's sample catalogue like a truly devout disciple. The mix -- sitting at a hefty 55-minutes -- is chock-full of rare soul, jazz, funk and bossa, and should certainly add a few titles to your ongoing, ever-expanding Dilla cheat sheet. And best of all, it's available for you to hear in its entirety down below for the exceptionally low price of free ninety-nine. Stream House Shoes' new The King James Version Part III mix and see what he had to say in regards to just how much of Dilla's catalogue is still unheard, by jumping back to yesterday's supremely-insightful Dilla-ography piece with him and Phife Dawg sounding off. We'll be raising it up for the gawd until the internet gives out, so keep it locked for even more dee-licious selections. Head over to his Soundcloud to peep the previous mixes.
