Turn it up! (A J Dilla tribute)

February 10 3 Comments Category: Uncategorized

Hello everyone, 

hope things are going good for you, and the new year is treating you well.  Today marks the third year anniversary since James Yancey b/k/a J Dilla passed away.

Theres not a day that goes by that I don’t play at least one song that he has been a part of, be it producing or MCing.  He truly was an inspiration to all in the hiphop world and everyone misses him dearly. 

As a tribute I have thrown a few tracks together for your listening pleasure, feel free to pass it along

R.I.P. J Dilla

 

The next link i have is to a live set that Jaylib (J Dilla + Madlib) performed in 2004. Def. Check that out as well.
