„Ruff Graft was originally an in-house collaborative beat-tape made within a week by just some of the Millennium Jazz Music roster as they all took time out to pay homage to the late great Mr James Dewitt Yancey aka J Dilla.

We decided to revisit Ruff Graft and build upon the original track-list by including some of our newer label mates and then record the whole thing to cassette tape for ourselves and some dedicated collectors.“

Fazit Tapes #37

Habe ich schon erwähnt, dass ich diese Compilation Tapes voll mag? Nein? Ich mag die voll! Alle drei Kassetten sind wieder prall gefüllt mit coolen Produzenten, voll mit feinsten instrumentalen Hip Hop Tracks und haben so richtig überzeugt. Als ganz knappen Sieger küre ich den ältesten der drei Sampler. Das oberste Treppchen für Tapes #37 geht an die J Dilla Homage The MJM Artists – Ruff Graft Revisited. Ich freue mich schon riesig auf das Vinyl, dass über QRATES gecrowdfunded wurde. Aber auch kick a dope verse! – jazzy village vol. 1 und Complex Channel Collective Tapes Vol​​.​​3 sind absolut empfehlenswert.
