Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. This is 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Studio No.1. The J Dilla tracks consist of three previously unreleased instrumentals selected by J.Rocc from the Dilla archives – “Safety Dance”, “Sycamore”, “Bars & Twists” – and three unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla's production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, each remastered by Elysian Masters who mixed and mastered J Dilla's Donuts, The Shining and Ruff Draft albums. by Stones Throw

Alexander Spit is an artist we believe in. Most rap music today is so diluted, hackneyed, an echo of a greater generation, or perhaps just cheap mimicry. Hip-hop music is an evocative spirit, it’s emotional and political, it should make you dance and piss you off. Alexander Spit’s music does that. Rap should be engaging and relevant, inspired by the past but directed towards the future. Alexander Spit’s music does that too. - THE HUNDREDS by The Hundreds
