Donuts
Released
Donuts was made on a hospital bed and in a home studio on a stripped-down setup with a stack of vinyl. Released on its maker's 32nd birthday three days before he passed away, the album has a resonance deeper than anyone could've hoped for or even imagined. Some who were close to Dilla have said that there are hidden messages in the samples, track titles, and who knows where else. On Metacritic, Donuts received "universal acclaim" from critics based on an aggregate score of 84/100 from fifteen reviews.
