FEBRUARY IS DILLA MONTH! FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, FEBRUARY IS THE TIME WHEN HIP HOP HEADS FROM ALL OVER CELEBRATE THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF JAMES YANCEY, KNOWN THE WORLD OVER AS J. DILLA. THE GENIUS BEHIND HIS MUSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS LIVES ON IN COUNTLESS PRODUCTIONS, SPANNING UNDERGROUND HIP HOP, NEO-SOUL, AND POP MUSIC. FILMED AT THE TIME OF DEATH, THIS PROJECT IS THE BRAINCHILD OF BRIAN "B.KYLE" ATKINS, MY OKAYPLAYER BRETHREN AND BUDDING FILMMAKER, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THIS VIDEO PROJECT FEATURES COMMENTARY FROM THE YANCEY MATRIARCH, MAUREEN YANCEY, COMMON, QUESTLOVE, DWELE, AND A MULTITUDE OF OTHERS. IT IS A NICE VIEW INTO THE ARTISTRY AND CREATIVITY BEHIND DILLA, WHO SUCCUMBED AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 32 TO LUPUS AND THE BLOOD DISEASE TTP. LOOK AT THIS PROJECT, AND THEN DO THE KNOWLEDGE ON HIS LIFE AND LEGACY. SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO B.KYLE, OKAYPLAYER, GIFTED FILMS, VIMEO, MS. YANCEY, AND THE J. DILLA FOUNDATION. DILLA LIVES ON IN OUR HEARTS AND MUSIC!
