Rest In Peace, J Dilla


You already know, it's been 2 years since one of the illest (if not THE illest) producers ever, James Yancey (aka J Dilla, aka Jay Dee) passed away. We still mourn your loss, my nigga. Not a week goes by that I don't play SOMETHING Dilla-related, whether it's a random instrumental or something a bit more well-known. In any case, on this day, there are a few things you need to check out:

If there's more Dilla love on the interweb, please post in the comments. I will leave you wil this video of footage from the recent Donuts Are Forever 2 show, which had a load of heads out come out and support:




One love.
