FOREVER HIP HOP

On this day, 6 years ago we lost one of hip hop’s most influential producers and artists - James Dewitt Yancey, Jay Dee or more commonly known as J Dilla. He died at age 32 of the blood disease TTP
Following J Dilla’s death, the hip hop community became centered upon his music and image. Many of the artists with whom Yancey worked and performed with recorded tributes, and a large group of followers voiced their support for the late musician. Yancey’s music experienced a rebirth as the producer gained many times more listeners than he had during his life, partly due to media exposure.
