“Kind of reminds me of back when Josh and I started working on music together. We would listen to a lot of it on the car rides back and forth to where we were recording. We would just pop it on and tune out, man.”
Ruff Draft
J Dilla
Ruff Draft is an EP reissued as a studio album by American hip hop producer and rapper J Dilla released under the moniker "Jay Dee". It was originally released in February 2003 as an EP, by his then-newly founded label, Mummy Records, and distributed by Groove Attack, a German record label. In 2007, Ruff Draft was extended, remastered, and posthumously re-released as a "solo album" by Stones Throw Records.

“I listened to this record, this 'Ruff Draft'... I was in Big Sur by myself, and I had on headphones... it just touched this thing in me so deeply. I couldn't stop crying. It was so powerful... I really love this a lot.”
