Super7 has done it again with this J-Dilla ReAction figure!! This wave 1 piece is inspired by Dilla’s classic Donuts album cover. The figure includes a scaled down MPC60 toy and removable necklace. This is definitely one to add to any Hip Hop toy collection.
A cornerstone of hip-hop culture and beat-making mastery, J Dilla’s Donuts changed the game forever. For the first time ever, Super7 is honoring the legendary producer with a 3.75” scale, articulated ReAction Figure! Inspired by the iconic 2006 album cover of Donuts, this figure comes equipped with a synthesizer accessory, removable necklace, and full color blistered cardback packaging that nods to Donuts’ enduring influence. A tribute to one of the greatest—don’t let this J Dilla ReAction Figure pass you by! ~Super7
It’s been almost 20 years since this legendary HipHop instrumental album was released by the late great J-Dilla. And it still sounds like a breath of fresh air. A timeless HipHop masterpiece. Big shout out to Super7 & ReAction for keeping Dilla’s memory alive.
About Donuts:
Donuts began simply enough as an idea to turn a particularly good demo beat tape into a full-length release, and has since became a classic hip-hop album, one of the defining works of the artist’s life.
Completed during a year in which J Dilla spent mostly in a hospital bed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Donuts would gain particular poignancy when, only three days after it’s release, February 10, 2006, the artist passed away, losing his battle with a rare blood disease.
Announced in Fall 2005, the concept of a “rap album without rappers” struck some as minor novelty, but Donuts would prove to transcend the rigid definitions of what a hip-hop album could be. It plays part like a DJ mix, part like a hip-hop beat maker at work, its songs starting and stopping unexpectedly, like someone turning the dial on an imaginary radio station. But it’s an unmistakably modern album, and one which perfectly encapsulated the artist’s reputation among his peers and fans as a top-rated architect of soulful hip-hop. ~Stones Throw Records
