Focus: "Homage To Dilla ft. Slum Village, Frank Nitti & Illa J"

Last time I dropped the Focus-produced joint "Homage to Premier," but I didn't know too much about the track. Turns out Focus is working on a project paying homage to some of his favorite artists. This track is dedicated to the late great James Yancey, as three years ago today was the tragic day that Dilla passed away. Slum Village, Frank Nitti, and Illa J (J Dilla's younger brother) hop on this track to pay their respects.

Focus: "Homage To Premier ft. Royce Da 5'9", Phonte, & Stat Quo"

Stumbling upon this track was honestly a little serendipitous. While browsing around Twitter, I happened to see that Phonte of Little Brother posted a new track through one of his updates. Naturally, since I found this only a few minutes ago, I don't have much information about it. Could be an older song, but I had never heard it before, and it's ill, so it deserves a post. Produced by Focus, and featuring Phonte, Royce Da 5'9", and Stat Quo, this song, as the title indicates, is an homage to the legendary DJ Premier. Perhaps it's part of a larger project, I'll keep you updated as any new developments emerge. For the meantime, hit the download link below and vibe out to this dope track.
