Definite Pick: J Dilla - "Dillatroit" (UPDATED)

J Dilla - "Dillatroit"

I don't know many Hip-Hop heads who aren't Dilla fans. Like many posthumous artists, people sometimes overlook the flaws and just gush about how the artist was one of the GOAT even though they never cared for them when they were alive. This isn't the case with Dilla. He's had quite a bit of posthumous material released, and I've enjoyed it all. This release, interestingly enough, is being released on Mahogani Music, which is more-or-less a house music label, but I'm confident they will do a good job. The album is going to be LE vinyl-exclusive, so good for us wax fans. The album, which was supposed to be an EP, got a few more unreleased tracks, raising the count to 12 (see tracklist below), so I guess it's more of an extended extended play. There's some European sites with pre-order available, but I haven't seen anything Stateside yet. Release date: May 25. Listen to some snippets below.

UPDATE: So this 12" is being released through Mahogani Music, though I couldn't find a pre-order (SEE UPDATE 2). I'm hoping they release it online and not just on-location in Detroit. I uploaded the promo flyer right below this text.
