What do you get when you mix two late and great icons like J Dilla and Michael Jackson? Three thrilling hip-hop and R&B mash-ups from DJ J Rocc.
Under the alias of Dil Jackson, the World Famous Beat Junkies founder has released some fantastic musical blends that combine the beats of Dilla with the vocals of the King of Pop.
His latest tracks mix the sirens and ad-libs from J Dilla (sounds like it could be from the ‘Ruff Draft‘ album) with MJ’s chart-topping hits ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Something,’ ‘Beat It’ and ‘Another Part of Me.’
The ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Something’ mash-up boasts echo-like horns and a drowsy groove. On ‘Beat It (Re-Rub),’ try to imagine Dilla making a chopped and screwed beat for MJ. Finally, ‘Another Part of Me’ is pure soul and funk with a hint of hip-hop thanks to Dilla’s signature booming beat.
Honestly, J Rocc’s J Dilla and Michael Jackson mash-ups are off the wall. See what we did there? Listen for yourself.
