AllHipHop.com reports that J Dilla's mother, Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey, has started Ruff Draft Records, named after the 2003 Dilla EP. The label will put out unreleased Dilla material, so maybe some of those tapes she just received will come in handy. The label's first release is Rebirth of Detroit, out June 12, which features Detroit artists (including Danny Brown) rapping over unreleased Dilla production.

Ruff Draft will also release music by young new artists. Here's what Ma Dukes told AllHipHop.com: "We want to make it more feasible to interact with these children; we don’t know how many J. Dilla’s we have out there. Somebody has to find them.”

The label is throwing a launch party on May 25 at the Magic Stick in Detroit, which will feature a Rebirth of Detroit listening party and performances by several Detroit artists.

Here's the Danny Brown track from Rebirth of Detroit, "Jay-Dee's Revenge":
