Jaylib was the duo formed by producers Madlib, and the late J Dilla. The group released one full-length LP, Champion Sound, before J Dilla's passing.

According to legend, the duo of Jaylib began in 2000 when DJ J Rocc (of the Beat Junkies) passed a beat tape (an instrumental CD with unused beats) to Madlib. These beats happened to be by none other than J Dilla. An enthusiastic Madlib then recorded over these beats and labeled them "Jaylib", without the intention of actually releasing them.

After Stones Throw placed one of these recordings on a mixtape (under the name Jaylib), and J Dilla caught ear of this, the full collaboration began to blossom. The pair recorded their debut album, Champion Sound, in separate cities (Madlib in L.A., and Dilla in Detroit) while sending beats back and forth. The greatly anticipated album was eventually released in 2003 after much delay (due to leaks and bootlegs) and received positive reviews.

Champion Sound is composed of beats sent back and forth via e-mail between the two. Most of Madlib's contribution to the album were improved mixes of the bootleg compositions he had recorded late the previous year, with a few new ones solicited from Dilla.

Said J Dilla in a pre-release interview in 2003:

I hooked up with Madlib, I loved his work. Bought his records. When I first heard Lootpack, I went crazy. I worked on my album for MCA - this was about 2 years ago - and actually got in touch with Madlib. Flew him out. He made me like, 6 tracks--ridiculous, ridiculous shit! What I was doing for this album was, getting all these producers that I loved -- I wasn't doing none of the beats on my album. I just wanted everybody who I listened to, to do all the beats. Just because, you know, they'd expect me to do all the beats. So like I said, I got Madlib, came down. Now to go to the Busta thing; after we hooked up, I found out that Madlib was...making demos over beat tapes and...Jay Dee beat CDs, y'know...things of that nature. (Laughter). I didn't say nothing, it's all good. Then he sent me this CD of 12 songs. With like vocals, cuts, it was basically an album! Of ALL Jay Dee beats! So I'm like 'no--that's impossible'! So, I just called him like 'Don't take this the wrong way...but...what's going on?' Y'know and then 'I'm hearing about this white label; this 12". This Jay Dee beat and you're rhyming on it.' And he's like, 'Eh, y'know, it's all good, whatever.' So I just dropped it and said, if we're going to do it, let's do it official. Let's do an album or something, let's do an EP or...let's just...mess the industry up. You know what I'm saying, just--hook up! A week later, I sent him some beats, he sent me some shit back. We laid it---we didn't go in the studio and lay verses and track it down, and... It was all straight, all CD/overdub...straight mixtape shit. Raw. Everything you hear is straight two-tracked. That's how the shit sounded to me anyway, just raw. I think it should be good, it's like...20-something cuts.

The Jaylib collaboration inspired other producers and emcees to do the same. These include Madlib (once again) and MF DOOM as Madvillain, MF DOOM and Danger Mouse as Dangerdoom, Dangermouse and Cee-Lo as Gnarls Barkley and producers Symbolyc One (of the group Strange Fruit Project) and Illmind as Onemind.

A distinctive characteristic of the album is the additional J Dilla instrumental snippets heard at the end of many of the songs.
