"House Shoes Presents The King James Version" (House Shoes) is a lovingly and expertly constructed journey through the building blocks of Dilla's beats - the dusty OG vinyl grooves that he sampled.From the basis of a Frank-N-Dank cult favorite, through that of a Fantastic SV moment, to Donuts' irresistible ingredients, Shoes' thorough work shines the light on his friend's ear for a sneaky loop, his affection for perfectly imperfect chops and his knack for extracting the soul from a forgotten musical fragment and making it something altogether new, something his own.

Long Live King James......
