Album Notes
Black Thought, Common, Madlib, Busta Rhymes, and Pharoahe Monch all make appearances on beloved producer J Dilla's (a.k.a. Jay Dee a.k.a. James Yancy) posthumous release, THE SHINING. Don't get it twisted, though: despite the thick guest list, Dilla is the star on every track, with MCs playing hype-man while his production wizardry rocks the party. Every song is a testament to the late Mr. Yancy's extraordinary talents, with hard chunky beats and occasional samples from the titular film blending into softer electro and Nu Jazz. THE SHINING is a triumph but also a bittersweet reminder that not only hip-hop but music as a whole has lost a true artist.

Editorial Reviews
[The album] commemorates his musical genius by juxtaposing lush loops with formidable flows.
XXL

His scattered styles are woven together seamlessly....SHINING brims with clear-cut and fully resolved ideas.
Vibe

THE SHINING's live instrumentation lends a relaxed R&B lilt that accentuates the human warmth Yancey brought to every project.
CMJ

[T]he most astonishing thing about THE SHINING isn't so much its bright and celebratory tone as its modesty....Its elegiac tone is profoundly affecting and you can feel the silence when the music stops.
The Wire

His warm, intimate style is highlighted throughout, especially on 'So Far To Go,' a gorgeous ballad featuring floating coos from fellow enigmatic genius D'Angelo. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly

Ranked #35 in Spin's The 40 Best Albums of 2006 -- [I]t's a remarkably cohesive, entrancing farewell.
Spin

3 stars out of 5 -- [The] album sports the trademark soul loops, crackling drums, and underwater ambience of his best past work...
Spin

3.5 stars out of 5 -- [L]ush and layered: 'So Far to Go' could be a classic soul ballad....Dilla uses background hiss, vocal effects and the stark, hushed movie clips to inject a sense of foreboding.
