Ranging from a wide variety of beats, J Dilla's instrumental hip-hop album Donuts was released three days before his death.  A very critically acclaimed producer for some of the greats of hip-hop, J Dilla put out his own self-produced albums, and here we are with this amazing album.  At first, when you are listening to it, you don't know what to expect with all the beats/mixes, but when you listen to it for the second time, it all makes sense.  Four sides of greatness from this wonderful mastermind of hip-hop, one can only appreciate such a talented person and his drive and ambition to make his love for music so unique and satisfactory.

Enjoy!
