The album also inaugurated the ████ ████ producer-led Beat Generation album series, ████ ████ which would later spawn classic LPs by DJ Jazzy ████ ████ Jeff, Pete Rock, DJ Spinna, Marley Marl and ████ ████ even will.i.am, all of whom had been inspired ████ ████ to reach for new creative heights by hearing ████ ████ DillaÆs magnum opus. ████ ████ ████ ████ Choosing to showcase his own voice and the ████ ████ voices of local rap-heroes from across the city ████ ████ instead of big stars, Welcome 2 Detroit marked ████ ████ a coming of age for the then 27 year-old ████ ████ producer, who fully embraced the creative- ████ ████ freedom offered by BBE for his first solo ████ ████ project. As Dilla tells it: ôPeter (Adarkwah, ████ ████ founder of BBE) let me do whatever I wanted to ████ ████ do. So, I wanted to put people on there who are ████ ████ gonna spit yÆknow, lyrically and represent ████ ████ Detroit. Because I wouldnÆt have been able to ████ ████ pull this album off if it came out under a ████ ████ major. Cos theyÆre not gonna let you just do a ████ ████ song or you canÆt just do an instrumental. You ████ ████ gotta have this feature and youÆre Jay Dee, why ████ ████ ainÆt you got Erykah Badu? Why ainÆt you got so ████ ████ and so on your album? IÆd have had to go ████ ████ through all of that, instead of just putting ████ ████ outàyÆknow, Beej on this joint!ö ████ ████ ████ ████ The album would prove to be the perfect ████ ████ distillation of DillaÆs Detroit. From ████ ████ Kraftwerk- inspired Tech Noir that would make ████ ████ Metroplex proud, through subtle echoes from ████ ████ Africa, live jazz-funk and bossa-nova grooves, ████ ████ to tough Midwest boom-bap, this record somehow ████ ████ showed reverence to the cityÆs past without ████ ████ ever leaving its present. Grimy street flows ████ ████ that somehow swayed like James Brown. ████ ████ Unquantized marvels, so free and alive in their ████ ████ bounce, that they could seduce the hardest of ████ ████ hard-rocks into the sweetest screwface! ████ ████ Diverse, multifaceted, super collaborative and ████ ████ yet somehow singular, Welcome 2 Detroit was the ████ ████ shy and humble James Yancey revealing his true ████ ████ self in the only way he knew how: through his ████ ████ music. ████ ████ ████ ████ ôThe numerous guest appearances from some of ████ ████ the cityÆs best MCs at the time ù Beej, Big ████ ████ Tone, Elzhi, Frank N Dank, Phat Kat ù added to ████ ████ the albumÆs immersive experience, offering ████ ████ listeners a taste of Detroit in a way that only ████ ████ Jay Dee could do.ö û Okayplayer ████ ████ ████ ████ To mark the 20th Anniversary of this momentous ████ ████ record, BBE Music is issuing a specially ████ ████ remastered edition of Welcome 2 Detroit, ████ ████ featuring a stunning new remix of æThink TwiceÆ ████ ████ by Japanese DJ/producer Muro and a stellar ████ ████ cover version of æRico Suave Bossa NovaÆ by ████ ████ legendary Brazilian jazz-funk juggernauts ████ ████ Azymuth, plus a stash of newly discovered ████ ████ alternate versions and work-in-progress ████ ████ recordings from the album sessions, lovingly ████ ████ reproduced from priceless cassette tapes ████ ████ recorded by J Dilla himself. An accompanying ████ ████ book by British writer and filmmaker John ████ ████ Vanderpuije offers an oral history of the ████ ████ albumÆs making, as told by Amp Fiddler, Ma ████ ████ Dukes and all of the albumÆs key musical ████ ████ contributors. The deluxe 7ö vinyl box set and ████ ████ digital album will be released on February 5th ████ ████ 2021 during the annual #DillaMonth celebration, ████ ████ as close to the great manÆs birthday as ████ ████ possible and will be available to pre-order ████ ████ from the BBE website and Bandcamp from November ████ ████ 3rd 2020. ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ▄▀▀███▓▄ ▄▓███▀▀▄ ████ ████ ■ ███▓█ .···.
