Rest In Peace J Dilla (Feb 7, 1974 – Feb 10, 2006)
Had a pleasure of meeting J Dilla twice. The year was 2000 at the Key Club in Los Angeles where Slum Village performed alongside my boys DAS EFX, Black Sheep & Black Eyed Peas. We was hanging out on the tour bus and i was amazed how Dilla was banging the MPC machine on stage like he was using turntables. A few years after, Baby Dooks & I were working on an ASD album for Afrob & Samy Deluxe in Berlin and Dilla was producing a track on the same project. I have witnessed the great Dilla live in the studio working on this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHvccEXfacM
Check out my radio tribute to the great Jay Dee from 6 years ago as we celebrate Dilla’s Bday.
