J Dilla – The Diary
(Vinyl Me, Please Exclusive Edition)
J Dilla – The Diary is one of the most important posthumous hip hop releases ever issued and an essential record for collectors of J Dilla vinyl, Vinyl Me, Please releases, and classic underground hip hop.
Originally assembled by J Dilla before his passing, The Diary remained unreleased for many years and became one of the most anticipated lost albums in hip hop history. Unlike many posthumous projects, this album reflects Dilla's own creative vision, featuring his vocals alongside production from some of the most respected names in the genre, including Madlib, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, Karriem Riggins, Nottz, Waajeed, and J Dilla himself.
The album features standout tracks such as The Anthem, Gangsta Boogie, The Ex, and The Diary, while guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, Bilal, Frank N Dank, Kokane, Kenny Wray, and Nottz help create a project that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
This highly collectible Vinyl Me, Please Rap & Hip Hop edition was released as the Record of the Month for November 2022. Pressed on beautiful Purple Marble and Orange Marble Vinyl, this deluxe gatefold edition includes both the complete vocal album and a full LP of instrumentals, allowing listeners to experience J Dilla's legendary production in its purest form.
For collectors seeking rare hip hop vinyl, J Dilla records, colored vinyl editions, or exclusive Vinyl Me, Please pressings, The Diary remains one of the most desirable modern releases in the VMP catalogue.
