Press Release:

The E-Mu Systems SP-1200 drum machine and sampler was the first electronic instrument Jay Dee worked with while crafting the incomparable styles and sounds which defined the early stages of his legendary production. The SP-1200 was his primary tool of choice at the inception of his career. During this period, he created classics for early Slum Village, The Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, among many others.  Yancey Media Group now proudly presents the J Dilla Batches series. Each 10" features 10 untitled and unreleased Dilla creations previously found only in the no longer available limited edition "The King of Beats' Ma Dukes Collector's Edition Box Set."   Like the deluxe box these vinyl offering are limited in nature. So act now while you can grab a piece of hip hop history.
