The Genius of J Dilla

Jay Dee / J Dilla born James D. Yancey, was one of the few artists whose records were bought on sight, played until digested and then discussed among fans and critics. He kept Hip Hop relevant long after many of its greatest heroes had left it for dead, at least creatively and is often described as "your favourite producers favourite producer". There are many talented beat makers and producers, but there will only be one J Dilla.
