Overview
- Busta Rhymes released Dillagence II on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, a project built from an archive he says contains roughly 300 unreleased J Dilla beats and reported by major outlets as a 19-track album.
- The record includes a posthumous D'Angelo feature on the song “This Woman,” sourced from an unfinished Dilla–D'Angelo session and using what appears to be an older scratch vocal that interpolates Sister Nancy’s “Bam Bam.”
- The album assembles a cross-generational list of guests — including Ma Dukes, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Anderson .Paak, Ludacris, Common, Talib Kweli and Jon Batiste — and was completed in coordination with J Dilla’s estate and his mother.
- Busta previewed the D'Angelo collaboration on Instagram and teased a Hype Williams-directed video for “This Woman” that was slated to debut the day the album arrived.
- Coverage differed on the project’s length early on — some outlets reported 24–26 tracks — but Billboard, Rolling Stone and other major outlets list 19 tracks and note Busta began assembling the sequel in late 2025 under estate oversight.
