Jaylib

Jaylib was a duo of legendary underground producers and occasionally emceees J Dilla and Madlib. The group was formed when Lib got his hands on some unreleased demo instrumentals of Dilla’s, leading the two to go on and release their only project, Champion Sound, via Stone Throw Records in 2003. The album was halved, with J Dilla rapping over Madlib productions, and vice versa. While boasting critical acclaim, Jaylib remained a low key means of collaboration, as the LP was delayed significantly due to sample clearance issues with its most successful single “The Red”. Above: Lib and Dilla scrolling through some samples. It would the second last album of Dilla’s career before Donuts and his death three days later in 2006, which caused the disbandment of the Jaylib. Madlib has mentioned that material was recorded for a second album, but was never completed and has yet to be released.
