Video: Stones Throw Records’ 360-degree virtual reality tribute to the late great J Dilla
For hip hop aficionados, there are few locations more hallowed than the Stones Throw Records’ basement ‘dungeon’.
Now the revered LA independent label – home to Madlib, Aloe Blacc, Jonwayne and others – take us into the dungeon – in 360-degree virtual reality style.
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the release of Dilla’s seminal Donuts on Stones Throw, they’ve released a special Dungeon Sessions tribute to the late great, with Karriem Riggins on drums and J Rocc on the turntable, performing improvisational versions of classic Dilla jams ‘Lightworks’ and ‘E=MC²’.
