Chuck Inglish and Boldy James recently hit the studio to record for J. Dilla’s upcoming album Rebirth of Detroit.
During a session attended by Ma Dukes and Jonathon Taylor, the two recorded for the project, which is tentatively set for a May 25th release. Additional guests on the album include Guilty Simpson, Amp Fiddler, Monica Blair, Phat Kat and more.
“What I love about [Chuck Inglish] is that he’s from the city of Detroit, he’s got the lineage of the city from the past but he’s also been creative enough to carry it on in a positive way worldwide,” said Taylor, co-executive producer of the project. “We’re proud to have him on the Rebirth of Detroit for Ms. Yancey and it’s a great day here.”
