Albums like Donuts (but not necessarily hip-hop)?

Though Donuts contains some incredibly masterful instrumental beats by J. Dilla, I loved the album primarily because of the atmosphere and emotion. It feels nostalgic, a little surreal, but I can clearly feel the flow of life on the album, from triumph and joy, to grief and death. And so I'm looking for an album that will give me similar emotions, as I said, not necessary hip-hop or plunderphonics, but with the same vibes.
