The full tracklisting for the forthcoming J Dilla release on Moodymann\u2019s Mahogani imprint has been unveiled.<\/p>\n

The 12-track release is due out later this month, and contains previously unreleased material from the hip-hop deity \u2013 real name James Dewitt Yancey \u2013 who passed away in 2006. The Dillaroit EP is being released in collaboration with the Yancey Media Group and the J-Dilla Foundation, and the Soundcloud player below offers an insight into the some of the music contained on the 12\u2033, along with some commentary from Dilla\u2019s mother, Maureen \u2018Ma Dukes\u2019 Yancy.<\/p>\n

The fact that the material is seeing release on Mahogani should come as little surprise \u2013 Moodymann aka Kenny Dixon Jnr has long been influenced by the Detroit hip-hop scene and Dilla\u2019s former Slum Village DJ Andr\u00e9s has released several memorable cuts on the imprint in recent years.<\/p>\n

Mahogani Music will release Dillatroit by J Dilla on May 25, 2012, on limited edition vinyl. May 25 is the US release date for Dillatroit \u2013 it\u2019ll be out elsewhere on June 12.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
