    Stream J Dilla’s Welcome 2 Detroit – The 20th Anniversary Edition

    February 5th, 2021

    J Dilla’s classic solo debut album, Welcome 2 Detroit, was released 20 years ago this month. To commemorate the landmark LP’s anniversary, BBE has released Welcome 2 Detroit — The 20th Anniversary Edition box set. Stream the full collection below via Spotify and Apple Music.

    The expanded edition of the set features the entire remastered album, instrumentals, previously unreleased alternate mixes, and studio outtakes, the treasure trove of tracks includes new interpretations by Azymuth (“Rico Suave Bossa Nova”) and DJ Muro (“Think Twice” and its accompanying instrumental).

    Welcome 2 Detroit was Dilla’s first solo effort, released when the producer was then 27 years old. Instead of packing the LP with the big name guests his status warranted at the time, Dilla chose to highlight smaller, local Motor City MC legends like Beej, Big Tone, Frank N Dank, Phat Kat, and Elzhi. Speaking on the freedom BBE offered him to create the album he wanted, Dilla said,

    “Peter (Adarkwah, founder of BBE) let me do whatever I wanted to do. So, I wanted to put people on there who are gonna spit y’know, lyrically and represent Detroit. Because I wouldn’t have been able to pull this album off if it came out under a major. Cos they’re not gonna let you just do a song or you can’t just do an instrumental. You gotta have this feature and you’re Jay Dee, why ain’t you got Erykah Badu? Why ain’t you got so and so on your album? I’d have had to go through all of that, instead of just putting out… y’know, Beej on this joint!”

    The box set also comes with a book featuring the “oral history of the album’s making,” including interviews with J Dilla’s own mom, Ma Dukes; Amp Fiddler; and many of the key contributors to the album.

      We Are TGM Radio…

      By now you probably realize you have discovered a very special website. Behind this site thrives an innovative, original, and fresh radio station that will be run by dozens of hosts with a passion for radio.

      TGM Radio is the brainchild of Dane Thompson, a London entrepreneur who set out to realize his lifelong dream in an industry that has standardized on big-name hosts and celebrities.

      The idea of delivering radio over the Internet led Dane to envision a new and different kind of radio station, one that would offer its listeners a variety of original programs with great entertainment value. What he had in mind, however, was a mainstream radio station that offered a variety of light, entertaining programs in the form of live streaming and on-demand listening.

      All new hosts are encouraged to produce their own material and play however they want. This will create a relaxed, creative environment that brings hosts together and lead to a shared effort.

      At TGM Radio Our programs will be of the highest quality. We’ll find you the best radio hosts for our station, so that what you’re listening to always sounds good. TGM Radio programming will have the best music (past and present), the latest hits from charts local and international, news and local traffic & weather.

      Our aim is to Provide a continuous broadcast community radio and online. Give hosts the freedom, and opportunity to express their diverse voices through radio. Create contemporary sound and music and promote it to new audiences. Develop the capacity of the station to enable it to flourish.

      TGM Radio welcomes you onboard and urges you to get ready for a musical journey.
