J. Dilla is an LA institution, even though he heralded from Detroit (rock city). His fans might know him from early Tribe Called Quest, or even his contribution to neo-soul, but his champions who still tout his name and speak on the anniversary of his birth/death really seem to remembered when his skills bloomed. His last days were largely spent in Los Angeles working alongside fellow beat-heads like Madlib and Peanut Butter Wolf. His collab with Madlib, dubbed Jaylib for it’s true mutual respect for each other, is one of the most memorable to the subjects of a 2 part documentary on J. Dilla’s legacy to the City of Angels. Brian Cross (+), Houseshoes and many others offer their stories of the man and his beats. RIP Dilla.
