When you take a closer listen to the way Zayy (or should I say Zayy Dilla) has programmed his drums, it becomes crystal clear as to why he's titled the track "Dilla".

Apart from the fascinating percussion sprinkled throughout the stereofield, the amount of swing on here tugs your body back n forth as you follow the spellbinding groove Zayy's created. The inclusion of the tantalizing lead synth is quite the clincher by virtue of its catchiness - which is bound to reside in your head for hours on end.
