It's Ruff Draft. For my real niggaz only... Sound like it's straight from the ma'f*ckin' cassette!... Let's do it." ... 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 MCA, Dilla returned to solo recordings as a fiercely independent artist with Ruff Draft. These are the instrumentals from the infamous, the official, Ruff Draft.Tracks:1.1 Let's Take It Back 1.2 Reckless Driving 1.3 Nothing Like This 1.4 The $ 1.5 Make 'Em NV 1.6 Crushin' (Yeeeeaah!) 1.7 Intro (Alt.) 1.8 Wild 1.9 Take Notice 1.10 Shouts (Alt.)
