Illa J has a lot more to his name aside from being little brother of the late J Dilla. The Detroit-based artist has kept busy as a current member of Slum Village as well as the Yancey Boys duo, but later this year he'll return to solo work with a new album. Today, we get our first taste of the release with a new song called "Strippers."
The track's a celebration of exotic dancers, with Illa J delivering some sexed-up lyrics for the ladies atop a slapping beat. And while the production sounds like vintage west coast G-funk, it actually arrives via Canada, with Montreal/Vancouver duo Potatohead People working alongside Montreal's Kaytranada. Those three deserve daps, since the beat is the best part of the track.
