Jay Dee

[phaethon]

I was lookin through the "best producers" thread and saw alot of names I didn't recognize, so I decided to download some of each artist I hadn't heard of. I came across Jay Dee thank god. Flyyyy is a tight track...along with Runnin'. I'm lookin for more suggestions from you guys. What are the best of the best beats out there? There's just too much hot shit to be discovered...I need some guidance. ha...

[T-Dash]

Dammit...I love runnin'....I heard that shit way back and completely forgot about it until recently when it popped onto some show on MTV and was like...DAMN...I gotta download that. However, a couple of lil production gems not by Jay Dee....But I still adore include:

The Life (Styles P and Pharoahe Monch)
Groundbreaker (Fallacey and Fusion)
Block Episode (Master Ace, Punchline and Worsworth)
The Demigodz (The Demigodz)

Just my personal tastes of some of my personal fave beats from an emcee perspective...

 

[J-UK]

Jay Dee is making an album with Madlib and some of the tracks are sick, and T-Dash that Groundbreaker beat is too good.

 

[BeatOff]

Jay Dee is dope but can get boring to me, alot of his beats put me to sleep.
