JDilla

This past February the 7th marks the day that the illest producer of all time, in my opinion, James Yancey was born, which is a week after my birthday..awww Aquarius! And this past February the 10th marked the 3 year anniversary of his death. Alot of people were unaware of who Dilla was unless you were into hip hop..Honestly if you dont know about Dilla you need to google him and listen..like really listen man...check out his page on www.myspace.com/jdilla...And support Ma Dukes man..check out his blogs on his myspace page..
R.I.P Dilla love Zarinah
