History
Unreferenced section|date=July 2009Jaylib began in 2000 when DJ J Rocc of the Beat Junkies gave a CD of unused instrumental tracks by J Dilla to Madlib . Madlib then recorded vocals over these beats and labelled them "Jaylib", without the intention of actually releasing them. Stones Throw Records|Stones Throw placed one of these recordings as the B-side to a promo 12" Madlib single, under the name Jaylib, which was eventually heard by Dilla. The pair recorded Champion Sound in separate cities, Madlib in Oxnard, California , and Dilla in Detroit, Michigan by sending recordings back and forth. The two met only once before or during this time, while Madlib was recording in Detroit for J Dilla's album on MCA Records; a record that was never released. The album was released in 2003 after much delay due to internet leak|leaks and bootleg recording|bootlegs and received positive reviews.
Following Dilla's move from Detroit to Los Angeles in 2004, they appeared together on tour in Spring 2004 in Los Angeles, San Francisco , New York , and Toronto . Madlib debuted a yet-unreleased Jaylib song on a BBC radio show in May 2005 titled "Take It Back aka The Unofficial", produced by J Dilla with vocals by Madlib. The track was released on Adult Swim and Stones Throw 's Chrome Children compilation.
Releases
The first pressings of the album in the USA contained two bonus tracks: "Raw Addict," and "Ice" (which otherwise are only on a white label 12" issued by Stones Throw); the first pressing of the CD in Europe included those two and a third track, "Pillz," which was later featured as the b-side to the 12-inch single for "McNasty Filth".
In 2005 Madlib's compilation of unreleased Jaylib tracks got leaked as an early version of Madvillain 's Madvillainy did before. These two CDs were compiled by Madlib in late 2002 to listen to on a trip to Brazil. http://stonesthrow.com/news/fake_vs_real/index.html Stones Throw Records The Jaylib compilation is called The Rough Drafts and the Madvillain compilation is called Madvillainy Preview .
The 2007 re-issue of Champion Sound was abruptly delayed when Stones Throw was issued a cease-and-desist from the camp of artist Cris Williamson .Citation needed|date=May 2009 "The Red", one of the more popular songs from the LP, contained an unauthorized sample of her song "Shine On, Straight Arrow".
