Donuts Compression

Hello hello, I have been on a huge Dilla bing lately and I am obsessed with that compression in a few songs. I know that he supposedly used a sp404 when making Donuts, and you can even hear that beautiful sp404 compression on a few songs, but I don't have that luxury. Im wondering if there is any good compressors that can give that smooth limiting sound. The example I chose is "Dilla Says Go" and after the first about the 4th bar it goes into the beat. I love how the compressor handles the strings and Im just wondering what sort of compressor you would suggest or maybe some general techniques to get that sound.

I guess another way to ask this is how to mimic the compression of an SP404.
