It has already been twenty years. At the request of the BEE Music label, beatmaker J Dilla, who has gone on to traumatise and influence whole generations of musicians, released his first solo album, Welcome 2 Detroit, a tribute to his hometown. A classic that, to mark fifteen years since the death of its creator, emerges here in a deluxe version, remastered, and embellished with many unpublished tracks. There are, of course, the rough-hewn instrumentals (in the image of J Dilla's sound), some tracks taken from the beat maker's archives, but also other artists are present, such as the Brazilian jazz-funk band Azymuth, who J Dilla and his great friend Madlib liked so much, or the great DJ Muro. The Japanese artist has contributed several remixes here, including one of Think Twice, which was a real success. A beautiful tribute for a foundational album, and for a man whose unique sonic signature is still resonating for so many people. © Brice Miclet/Qobuz
