| | John Robinson Who Is This Man? CD John Robinson Discography of CDs
One-half of respected East Coast underground duo Scienz of Life, the lyricist known as Lil Sci has garnered accolades for his charismatic flow, elevated wordplay, and engaging vocal tone since debuting in 1996 with "Powers of Nine Ether." Taking on the persona of John Robinson, Lil Sci combines with underground rap superhero MF Doom on the clever concept album WHO IS THIS MAN? As if there was any doubt, Doom once again asserts his dominance behind the boards, flipping dusty soul and jazz samples into infectiously spacey beatscapes. On the mic, Sci creates his alter ego through narrative verses and vivid story-telling rhymes while Doom connects each track with menacing interludes built on audio news segments that describe a mysterious man named John Robinson.

Purchase Who Is This Man? CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | J Dilla Donuts CD (2006)
Who Is This Man? album
 $12.99    
Donuts was made on a hospital bed and in a home studio, on a stripped-down setup with a stack of vinyl. Released on its maker's 32nd birthday, three days before he passed away, the album has a resonance deeper than anyone could've hoped for or even imagined. Some who were close to Dilla have said that there are hidden messages in the samples, the track titles, and who knows where else. It's impossible not to speculate about some things, like the track titled "Don't Cry," the looped "broken and blue" from a version of "Walk on By," the presence of Eddie Kendricks singing "My people, hold on," or the fact that there are 31 tracks, a possible signal that Dilla survived a little longer than he expected. Then again, for every possible message, there are two or three elements that could've been designed to throw any analysis off its trail. After all, if there's one single image that the disc brings to mind, it's that of Dilla goofing off, having fun with some of his favorite records, and messing with some heads in the process. (And you could probably make the album's title out to be a metaphor for the circle of life, but sometimes a donut is just a donut.) Armed with sources that are either known to novice sample spotters ...

| Illa J Yancey Boys CD (2008)
Who Is This Man? songs
$12.39 
The title of rapper/singer Illa J's debut album refers to the man himself along with his older brother J Dilla, aka Jay Dee, the game-changing hip-hop producer from Detroit who passed away in 2006 at the age of 32. The beats on Yancey Boys are "all previously untouched Jay Dee gems" that were given to Illa J by Delicious Vinyl's founder, Michael Ross. Safe to say, the younger Yancey's first encounter with these tracks had to bring a heavy set of emotions, but with everything here being immediately recognizable as Dilla, the end result for the longtime fan is still one of ghosts and bittersweet memories. Nocturnal keyboards, elegant pianos, lazy beats, and the occasional Kraftwerk-like twist all combine to make warm soul music, but save the D'Angelo-like "We Here" and the more hip-hop highlight "DFTF," those final Dilla touches are missing, as they were on all those sketchbook-like ...

When I listen to the music on this recording, I'm reminded of all the things that inspired me to want to devote my life to music.How those harmonicovertones from insturments mad of wood and steel would literally change the air. The goose bumps that would creep up your skin when two or three voices would come together to find that perfect chord. Most of all was the joy of coming together with friends, new and old, to share our individual talentsto create that greater musical "whole."That's what ...
