Jay-Detroit-I-to-the-L-L-A

So as I mentioned before... the ears of Cleveland, Ohio will soon be made love to by the sweet sounds of J Dilla. Here's the run down...

On Saturday February 13, Get Some Productions proudly presents an evening dedicated to the life and music of James “J Dilla” Yancey. Dilla tragically passed away in February of 2006 from complications of the blood disease Lupus. Come celebrate the legacy and amazing catalogue of music of an artist who defined the sound of a movement of hip hop and soul music. Although a hero to many, Dilla’s work often goes loved and appreciated but unrecognized. Cleveland’s best DJs will be spinning Dilla solo tracks, and singles, remixes and rarities with artists like: A Tribe Called Quest, Common, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Busta Rhymes, Mos Def, Madlib, Ghostface, Slum Village, and many more.

Raffle drawings all night with prizes from: Heart & Sole Sneakers, Next Coventry, Legndary Boutique and Stones Throw Records.

Live art and silk screening for sale with t-shirts courtesy of American Apparel.

All proceeds from the event will go directly to Dilla’s mother, Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey, who is currently struggling to pay her own hospital bills, as she is also sick with Lupus. Ma Dukes is also in the process of raising funds to create a Lupus support foundation in her son’s honor.

Lastly, this is a little remix I cooked up on the fly with one of Dilla's interlude beats from the Jaylib album and some good old dirty south rappin n' trappin courtesy of Gorilla Zoe. Click to stream or download.
