House Shoes Presents The King James Version (Now On iTunes)

The former cool kid of our Detroit hip hop scene and now Detroit's ambassador via Los Angeles DJ House Shoes is set to release The King James Version, his tribute to the greatest to ever do it, the late geat legend J. Dilla. House Shoes takes us on a journey through the records that James Yancey used to craft the classics we all fell in love with. If you thought Dilla's beat were nothing special and easy to create, you'll second guess that idea and realize the genius of his musical process while listening to The King James Version. House Shoes has offered the first chapter of the mix for free download to give you a taste.

And here's thoughts from artists hat were close to Dilla regarding The King James Version:

T3 (Slum Village) - "This king james shit is nutz. no homo."

Amir -"Mad people always talk about how much they love music but my man houseshoes is THE only one I know that consistently holds it down! His knowledge and skill cannot be questioned...basically he is the MAN! I am just the man siitin' next to the MAN!"

Rhettmatic - "The King James Version is a must for all you hardcore Dilla fans or for Sample Heads. Shoes is the only person besides J.Rocc who can put something together like this.....listening to this will make your head crack! Don't sleep!"

J-Rocc - "Houseshoes seems to have it all....life isn't fair sometime. After listening to this you'll ask yourself how did Dilla do it. All Hail King James (both of em)"

Black Milk - "House Shoes just showed us how much of a genius dilla was even more with this cd and how crazy dillas record collection was im just now finding some of these samples...dilla was light years ahead of us..."
