Dilla Days: February 3rd

Moving forward with the third installment of "Dilla Days", I have provided a new pair of Dee-licious slappers that you may or may not have heard. Firstly we have another remix, but this time for Common's Grammy nominated classic, "The Light", which can be found on his 2000 LP Like Water For Chocolate. Those familiar with the original song are already aware that it was produced by Dilla and was basically flawless, but he and Common also decided to remix the track featuring additional vocals by Erykah Badu and was then released by Motown Records as a single for the Bamboozled OST. And secondly is another classic in my book, "The Look Of Love Pt. 1", which was recorded in Dilla's home studio circa 1996/97 for Slum Village's debut album Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1. Later on in 2000, the song was re-released on the Best Kept Secret album from J-88 (alias of Slum Village), just prior to Dilla's temporary departure from the group.
