J Dilla: Dillatroit

Legendary Hip Hop Producer/Artist/Dj, J Dilla is said to have his own 12-track vinyl released may 25, 2012. The record is said to be a sampling of selections from the Rebirth of Detroit LP, due June 12th by Ruff Draft Records. 


James Dewitt Yancey (J Dilla) was from Detroit, Michigan. He played a major role in underground Hip Hop as well as mainstream. From working with artist such as A Tribe Called Quest, Janet Jackson, Slum Village, Common, Madlib, Mos Def, and Erykah Badu, Dilla has easily gained a spot being one of the most influential and straight up illest producers of all time. He passed away in 2006 due to a rare blood disease known as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Fans started noticing the seriousness of his illness in 2005 when Dilla toured in a wheelchair.

I grew up in the 90's during the Golden Age of hip hop. Dilla's new vinyl will definitely show the younger generation what it is that Hip Hop lacks today by giving us a remembrance of the past.
