 These recording sessions yielded material that would become the "Out of Focus EP", but the project was abandoned due to personal obligations and a lack of distribution options in Detroit.During the mixing process, DJ Houseshoes passed the DATs onto Dilla, who intended on remixing the whole album before his passing.In late 2000, Elzhi acquired Dilla's master tapes and provided his close friends with CD's of the "Out of Focus EP", plus 3 extra tracks.
