Album Notes & Community Reviews

Executive produced by his mother Ma Dukes and mixed by Pete Rock, this posthumous album assembles unreleased beats from the legendary hip-hop producer's vast archives. Arranged to mimic the feel of a radio broadcast, the instrumental tracks showcase his unparalleled genius for off-kilter swing and soulful sample chops, occasionally featuring guest verses from Black Thought, MF DOOM, and Raekwon. It acts as a profound, joyous celebration of his enduring legacy.
