Do The Dilla 2012: A Tribute To The Drum Master

This year marked the 6th anniversary of our brother J-Dilla making his transition to the ancestral realm to go back to the creator. In honor of his music and legacy, a group of gifted producers who are influenced and greatly appreciate Dilla's genius got together based on an idea of screenprinters Do The Right Print, the collective at Food For Ya Soul and Feelin’ Music, to create a collaboration of remixes in his honor and to also continue in the preservation of his legacy.

There was a massive event on Saturday, February 11th in Brussels. For more info on what happened, log on to the Feelin' Music Bandcamp page to get all the details. Just like they did at the event, they are offering this project for FREE. ENJOY!

J-Dilla: Still Shining Documentary

DILLA DAY is being celebrated today all over the United States and in multiple countries around the world in honor of J-Dilla/Jay Dee. Today marks the 6th anniversary of this legendary producer's transition into the spirit realm. Tonight, we will be hosting our 6th anniversary of doing tributes to J-Dilla with our own celebration of Dilla Day 2012 at my friend's bar here in Houston.

Today there will only be posts in relation to J-Dilla. At tonight's tribute, we will kick it off with a video presentation of the Still Shining documentary that was produced and directed by Brian "B.Kyle" Atkins of Gifted Films Inc.

Happy Birthday: J-Dilla (James DeWitt Yancey)

James DeWitt "J-Dilla/Jay Dee" Yancey
(February 7, 1974 - February 10, 2006)
As many J-Dilla fans consider the month of February as "The Month of The Man", we take this time to celebrate the day that Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey gave birth to the G.O.A.T. I tell many people that J-Dilla is the dopest cat they probably never heard of because I still hear quite a few people say that they either never knew that he produced so many songs they like or they never heard of him at all. Either way, we as true fans salute the greatest to ever touch the pads of the Akai MPC. Rest In Peaceful Power Bro! We miss you.

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!
