J Dilla debuted Welcome 2 Detroit in 2001. Celebrate that album with a special 12 disc vinyl box set.
Next year will be the 20th anniversary of one of the greatest albums in J Dilla’s catalog: Welcome 2 Detroit. The album, which was his solo debut, was originally released on February 26, 2001. To celebrate the occasion, BBE, the label that released the album, will drop a special 20th Anniversary Box Set.
The box set will release on February 5th, 2021, just a couple of days before Dilla Day (which is on February 7tth).
The deluxe 7″ box set, which is 12 discs, will feature instrumentals, new interpretations by Azymuth and Muro, unreleased alternative mixes, and studio outtakes. The box set will also include a book revealing the making of the album, as told to the artists who were there, including Amp Fiddler and Ma Dukes. The book was written by British writer and filmmaker John Vanderpuije.
