BAGELS: Dedicated to J Dilla's DONUTS (Album) [Stream + Download]

LISTEN:

BAGELS is more than beats—it’s a love-letter answer to the genius of J Dilla's swan album DONUTS and the culture he fed. Just like Donuts reshaped how we hear loops, Dezo’s BAGELS flips everyday sounds into head-nod fuel, turning the ordinary into something soulful, funky, and unforgettable.

  This project isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about capturing that raw beatmaking spirit: dusty chops, unexpected switch-ups, direct rhymes, and grooves that make you screw your face up like you just bit into something crazy. Each track is its own flavor—warm, buttery, sometimes sweet, sometimes grimy—but always fresh from the oven.

  From sunrise rides to late-night sessions, BAGELS is built for headphones, crates, and concrete corners. It’s an album you feel as much as you hear—proof that the beatmaker’s craft is still alive and sacred.

  For every real hip-hop head who knows what Donuts did to the game—BAGELS is your reminder that the recipe still cooks. Spin it, savor it, and let it loop.
