Dilla Month

Ok, so I'm a day late on this post...sue me. For those that don't know, it's DILLA MONTH. Basically, people celebrate the life of J Dilla, one of the greatest producers of all time who passed away February 10th 2006. There's a bunch of shows n shit that go on to celebrate Dilla's life. I never got the chance to meet Dilla but I'm fortunate enough to be friends with his uncle and a few folks that worked with/were friends with him. None of them have ever said any negative things about him. They've all said he was a positive friendly guy that loved music more than anything in the world.

If you're asking yourself who Dilla is...well he's produced for some of your favorite artists and is probably your favorite producers favorite producer.

The dude has produced for The Pharcyde, Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Common, De La Soul, Slum Village, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Ghostface, and PLENTY of others. It's even been rumored that 2pac's Do For Love beat sampled a Dilla beat for it AND theres also rumor that he did the beat for Janet Jacksons "Got Til Its Gone" but wasn't credited for it.

Don't forget that at one point he was IN Slum Village, did a collab album with Madlib, and released numerous solo albums including the absolute CLASSIC "Donuts."
