After nearly 15 years of label troubles, legal battles, file rescuing and sample clearing, J Dilla's lost 2002 vocal album The Diary is finally seeing release on April 15th. Originally recorded for MCA, the iconic beatmaker, who passed away in 2006, had recruited a slew of producers to help create the 14-track LP - its beats are by Pete Rock, Madlib, Hi-Tek, Supa Dave West, Bink!, House Shoes, Nottz, Karriem Riggins and, of course, Dilla himself. Though it follows a decade of posthumous releases of varying quality, Dilla estate creative director and former Stones Throw general manager Eothen "Egon" Alapatt tells Rolling Stone that The Diary is "the last record that he actually wanted out."
