The late, great J Dilla is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time. Since his death in 2006, Dilla’s mother Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey has worked tirelessly to further her son’s legacy, and her latest effort is the new project Motor City. Inspired by Dilla’s beloved hometown, Motor City is a collection of rare and unreleased Jay Dee instrumentals, hand-selected and sequenced by Ma Dukes.

Conceived as a “letter” to her son, Motor City is packaged in a mailing envelope, complete with a handwritten message from Ma Dukes to J Dilla inside. In addition to the 19 Motor City instrumentals.
