This past February marked the 6th anniversary of Jay Dee's passing due to complications stemming from Lupus. Known in Hip-Hop circles as J Dilla, he left the world with a wealth of groundbreaking music having produced classic records for some of Hip-Hop and R&B's most influential artists. That list includes A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, The Roots, Mos Def, Common, The Pharcyde, Ghostface, Raekwon, Janet Jackson, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu and of course his own group Slum Village.
On March 1st some of Vancity's biggest Dilla heads are coming together to celebrate the music and genius that is James "J Dilla" Yancey. Live performances from SonReal & Prison Garde + DJs Hedspin, Flipout, Seko, Rich-A, Niña Mendoza, Bles-sed & Jay Swing. $5 from each ticket going to the J Dilla Foundation. The party is called RAISE IT UP - A J DILLA CELEBRATION and will be headlined by none other than Detroit's Slum Village (T3, Illa J (Jay Dee's brother) & Young RJ)!
