DILLA DAY 2012: Tribute To J-Dilla

Here we are at that time again where we celebrate the life and works of the G.O.A.T., James DeWitt Yancey, better known to the Hip-Hop and Soul community as J-Dilla/Jay Dee. Many hardcore fans around the country have dubbed February 10th, his homegoing date, as DILLA DAY. On next week, we will host our 6th annual tribute to the memory of this Detroit legend. His music will live on and in our hearts. We miss you bro!

Here's a tribute mix I originally recorded in 2007, then added a few more tunes to the end of it in 2009, then uploaded it to one of my podcast pages. It's a FREE download. Enjoy!

Eric Lau: The Mission EP

A month or so ago I posted the new single from Eric Lau featuring Guilty Simpson called "The Mission", which is a banger, by the way. Hours ago he posted "Yesterday" that features Guilty Simpson lending his vocals again, along with Fatima and Olivier Day Soul. All I can say is, classic combination. He also announces that The Mission EP drops February 3rd, although you can pre-order it now via Kilawatt Music. Head on over and get electrified.

Eric Lau: The Mission ft. Guilty Simpson

This is one hell of a heavy combination style from Eric Lau of London town linking up with Guilty Simpson of "The D", Detroit that is....Motown..."The Motor City". Pardon my Beverly Hillbillies mode. Anyway, get ready for this single to drop in two days. For now, preview the stream here...
