We celebrated the life of J Dilla last month six years after his tragic passing, and with the sixth anniversary of fellow Detroit emcee Proof coming up here shortly on April 11, 1st Born (I have no idea who that is) dug up a track by the two titled "We Know" that shows the pair working together in what I think is some time right after Dilla's death (Proof says "I can't believe you're gone" several times). Should that be the case, this one must have been put together quickly, as Proof was murdered shortly after Dilla's death.
Anyway, the track's a major chiller and something of two parts with a quick change halfway through that leads me to believe it's more like two songs rather than one. It's raw and unedited, though I doubt there's anything else we'd expect. It's new Dilla and Proof, some of the 313's finest, so dig on it and throw up your thoughts.
