Today marks the birthday of the late legendary producer, J Dilla. James Dewitt Yancey, better known as J Dilla, is easily one of the most influential figures of hip hop whether you know it or not. He had worked on productions with Busta Rhymes, Common, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, Janet Jackson and the list goes on. Sadly, he was only recognized and more appreciated for his work after his death, which resulted from the blood disease called Lupus. To this day, he still inspires artists around the world with his music and he will never be forgotten. Rest in beats Jay Dee.
