J Dilla & Common - Rare Pictures from LWFC Studio Time

WOWEE! What a way to kick off Dilla month - the guys over at Doctors Orders have come through with some incredibly rare pictures of Jay Dee & Common working together in the studio on Like Water For Chocolate, which is my favourite Hip-Hop album of all time. The photos were found whilst Pete from BBE records (pictured alongside Dilla below) was moving house.

All details are on www.thedoctorsorders.com, and HERE is a Dilla tribute mix by DJ Getz.
