Cee Lo Green - All Alone Now (Prod. Waajeed & Simon Katz)

" Exclusive! Never heard before Cee Lo X Waajeed collaboration. It was wriiten and demoed for the late, great Whitney Houston circa 2007. The A&Rs at RCA were calling every and anybody to find a sound for her 2009 release, "I Look To You". I worked on seven or eight different versions finally deciding on this one with co-production from Simon Katz from Jamiroquai. Lyrically, Cee Lo nailed it! At the time she was going though her very public separation with Bobby Brown. He wrote the words as if she was speaking directly to him. I wish I would’ve been able to hear her wonderful voice singing these words, but for now Cee-Lo will do. R.I.P. Whitney " - Waajeed (Jeedo)

J Dilla - Crushin' (Original Version) (Prod. Waajeed) [Stream]

" Todays stream is of the original version of, “Crushin” produced by me. We have J Rocc to thank for this one. I was Djing with Houseshoes in San Fran with Fran Boogie and DJ Mr. E. We heard J Rocc was staying in the same hotel and went to holla at him. We were talking about Dilla rarities when he said that he liked that version of, “Crushin” I did. I was like what version!?! He played it and it split my melon! I did that beat for Dilla circa 2002 for his MCA project – I assumed he never used it when I didn’t hear anything. Turns out it was the original version that he later remixed himself for his then – newly founded label, Mummy Records. Exclusive! " - Waajeed (Jeedo)

Slum Village - Tell Me (Prod. J Dilla) (Unreleased) [Stream]

NEW SLUM VILLAGE!!! This is one of the first tracks the legendary crew ever recored together and the beat was made before Jay Dee even had a drum machine! Just....wow. Listen and read the full story behind the record as told by Bling 47's Waajeed below.

" While some consider Dilla’s strong suit to be production, others look to his rhyming for inspiration. This early Slum Village track, “Tell Me What You Want” is a fine example of his ill penmanship. It was one of the first efforts as Baatin, T3 and Dilla came out of the Senepod crew name and became Slum Village. At the time Dilla didn’t even have a drum machine, so this beat was actually made using the “pause and record” tape method. It was never released. Enjoy " - Waajeed (Jeedo)

Que D – Cash Flow (J Dilla Remix) (Unreleased) [Stream]

Bling 47 continues to supply us with exclusive unreleased goodies this time with an unreleased Dilla remix of Que D's single, "Cash Flow". Listen and read the full story as told by Waajeed below!

" Que D “Cash Flow (Remix)” I first got this cassette while hanging out in Dilla’s basement in Conant Gardens, Detroit. The original track was part of Dilla’s cousin – Que D’s first EP, Quite Delicious. Dilla did all of the beats and I did the photography/artwork for Que’s 6 track release that we put out ourselves in ‘96. There were remixes for every song that never saw the light of day till now. Check this one for “Cash Flow.” Enjoy " - Waajeed (Jeedo)

J Dilla - Clap Your Hands (Unreleased Freestyle) [Stream]

It's not what he's saying, but how he said it....Jay Dee, along with Slum Village pioneered this hurky jerky style of rapping which flows so well. Check out more unreleased material at Bling 47. Happy Dilla month!

" I got this one on a cassette from T3 circa 1997. I’m not sure what it was for, or why Dilla had this on tape, but I thought it was hilarious. “Shut the F*ck Up and listen to this… this.” This kind of style was typical for our crew at this time – we were just finishing up the Fantastic Vol 1 album. It was never about what they said – but instead how they said it. We called it “R.A.W.” – Rugged And wild. And that is exactly what this one is – tape hiss and all. Enjoy " - Jeedo (Waajeed)
