Dilla Days: February 2nd

Continuing on with the second day of this month's "Dilla Days" series we have another pair of Dilla produced joints. First off, from the universally acclaimed and probably most notable release, Donuts, in 2006, is the fantastic instrumental entitled "Hi". The beat was later on used by Ghostface Killah for his Fishscale album on the song "Beauty Jackson". Secondly is one of my favorite songs of all time bluntly titled "Fuck The Police" which was released as a 12" for Up Above Records in 2001. In the song, Dilla chastises corrupt policemen who conduct illegal searches and plant evidence on African Americans. The 12" sleeve cover includes pictures of Mumia Abu-Jamal and Rodney King, both of which are known for their run-ins with law enforcement.
