Dilla's Beats Pound From Beyond The grave

J DILLA’S upcoming album, The Shining, is setting up to be one of the most highly anticipated hip hop albums of 2006. The late hip-hop producer J Dilla's second solo project The Shining, which was nearly completed when he died Feb. 10, will be issued Aug. 22 via BBE. Unfortunately, it took J Dilla’s premature death for the hype to build outside of his extremely loyal, underground fan base. No matter; if the album itself is only half as good as the track listing is alone, it should be a stone cold bangger.
