Karriem Riggins Feat. Westside Gunn & Busta Rhymes – Long Live J Dilla

Karriem Riggins has released a tribute song, “Long Live J Dilla,” in honor of his late friend and collaborator, J Dilla. The track, featuring Busta Rhymes and Westside Gunn, was released on February 7, also known as J Dilla Day in Detroit. Riggins expressed his excitement about the release, calling it a celebration of Dilla’s artistry and lasting impact. The song originally wasn’t intended as a tribute, but Westside Gunn’s lyrics naturally steered it in that direction. After hearing Gunn’s verse, Riggins felt the track needed a second opinion, leading him to reach out to Busta Rhymes, who was eager to contribute. The result is a heartfelt homage to one of hip-hop’s most legendary producers.
