'One Eleven'ġ5 years ago, a mysterious GameFAQs user called Ditman333 posted about a glitch he'd discovered in Resident Evil 4. In a genre swamped with flimsy, barely-there musical accompaniment, Dilla offers up full-bodied sounds to seek your teeth into. The one constant is Dilla's attention to detail and the resulting complexity that comes through in each composition. Dilla strays from classic to quirky as well, crafting themed cuts like the spacey 'Geek Down' and channeling hectic, assembly line frenzy on 'The Factory'. Hints of Motown wind through 'Don't Cry' and 'U-Love', two backdrops that wouldn't feel out of place among a disc of hits from The Temptations. Dilla throws it back to just about every era of 20th century music, from the dusty, 60s soul vibe of 'One Eleven' to the 80's party rap throwback 'Stepson to the Clapper'. Opting this time to release his concoctions in their pure form, Donuts packs 45 minutes of short, instrumental offerings that touch all corners of the hip-hop roadmap. Serious illness sidelined him in 2004, but a return to form - recently including work on Common's standout Be - has primed Dilla for an album all his own. From working with seminal hip-hoppers A Tribe Called Quest to Busta Rhymes to his former Slum Village clique, Dilla is recognized by industry heads as one of rap's elite musicians while remaining firmly under the popular radar. Dre or Kanye West, Detroit native Jay Dee has amassed a veritable all-star list of production credentials. Without the benefit of the type of headlining buzz generated by peers like Dr.
