Listen to a previously unreleased Jaylib recorded in 2002.

Stones Throw is offering a one-year vinyl subscription. For $250, you will receive every vinyl the label releases over the course of 2017. The series will begin with Karriem Riggins, Tuxedo, Koreatown Oddity, Gabriel Garzón Montano, and other unannounced releases.

The series' first release is "Da Rawkus," a previously unreleased track by J Dilla and Madlib from 2002. The song will be released on vinyl on January 13th, along with Madlib's remix of "Champion Sound."

"Da Rawkus" features Jaylib's demented take on "Flight of the Bumblebees." J Dilla handles microphone duties; the production is presumably handled by Madlib.

Quotable Lyrics

J Dilla, Madlib collab'
Take cats in the back in the lab
And dangerous with pens and pads
I don't even really need to ad-lib the rap
Better fix your traps, or you'll get sah-lapped
By a nigga in a Piston cap
Detroit players, pimps and macks here
We live this, you whack, then it's a wrap
And niggas ain't with that distant crap
So don't spit it, I spit back tit for tat

-J Dilla
