The new audio tool began as a collaboration with Kanye West but has since expanded and worked with the estate of the late hip-hop legend known as J Dilla. Users are now able to remix and work with J Dilla sounds through an exclusive selection of content that has been selected by the producer's mother, Ma Dukes. There are 20 songs that are added to the tool that has never actually been released to the public. In addition to this, Stem Player has also announced some tracks by Salaam Remi and Flea that are available for remixing.
