Originally a bonus track on 2016's The Diary, here's a deadstock find of "Sickness." Fans might recall that the 7" was only available with the purchase of a J Dilla-themed portable turntable, and if you missed out and/or were pisssed at the bundle release situation, this is your chance. Madlib on production with the growling synth-heavy beat, with Nas and the late producer/MC trading verses—VERY RARE. Instrumental on the flip
