J Dilla

J DILLA IN CONCERT:Despite his untimely death in 2006, J Dilla remains one of the most respected hip hop producers of all time, beloved for his ultra-smooth instrumental samples set to bumping back beats. Jay Dee produced, rapped, and remixed for huge names like Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, and De La Soul, and he left an indelible mark on the genre in the process. Sadly, he was taken from this world far too soon, leaving fans and collaborators to wonder how much more great music he could have made. The DC Loves Dilla Tribute seeks to make sense out of the tragedy, bringing together luminaries like Talib Kweli and The Pharcyde to compose and freestyle verses over J Dilla's legendary instrumentals.
