{"product_id":"j-dilla-ruff-draft-1","title":"J Dilla – Ruff Draft","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Before we get this started, let me explain it. It's Ruff Draft. For my real niggaz only ... Sound like it's straight from the ma'fuckin' cassette! ... Let's do it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e... Thus begins Ruff Draft. These self-produced tracks make up one of the late J Dilla's least known works during his lifetime. Released on vinyl only in February 2003 this sought-after release was elusive and virtually unknown to the casual Dilla fan until Stones Throw's reissue in 2007. Recorded in the wake of a failed deal with major label, Dilla returned to solo recordings as a fiercely independent artist with Ruff Draft. The CD contains photos from this era and detailed liner notes by Ronnie Reese discussing Dilla's career in 2002 when Ruff Draft was recorded.Tracks on this disc were taken from J Dilla's original master tapes, where additional previously-unreleased tracks “Wild” and “Take Notice” were also discovered. Sleeve by Jeff Jank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with the album we released Ruff Draft Beats (the instrumentals), “Wild” 12-inch single, and “Dirty Crushin'” 7-inch single. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stonesthrow.com\/store\/ruff-draft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eStones Throw\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1TRrUIWutAg8Xe99cAzmbm?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table_1fWaB\" border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eStones Throw Records\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– STH 2153\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12\", EP, Partially Mixed, Reissue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12\", Single Sided\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eUS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHip Hop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Stones Throw Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42756545839262,"sku":"659457215316","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/ruff-draft-2022_800x_3f0f85c8-2997-434b-bdd3-10ca55dc6aab.jpg?v=1695710191","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/j-dilla-ruff-draft-1","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
