Rob says he wanted to pay homage to Dilla with this remix.


A friend gave me the vocals from the American gangster album by Jay z, and I had flipped the Black album already, so I was trying to think of a way to do this record differently. So i came up with the idea to take records Dilla used on DONUTS, and flip them my own way, and apply them to the Jay Z records. I think it came out nicely. I did this record in 2 and a half days, but i believe this version takes the album on a whole new path.

Get it: Rob Viktum – American Donutshop

Bonus Cuts:
Jay-Z – “Pray” (True Blue Remix)
After listening to this remix you won’t even remember what the OG sounds like.

Jay-Z – “No Hook” (True Blue Remix)
This is also a brilliant blend, once you get past the slight time lapse.
