J Dilla passed away on February 10th of 2006. Only three days prior, he let the world hear an album he created from a hospital room; Donuts. It went on to immortalize him as one of the greatest and most influential beat makers in all of music. Although Donuts in particular has reached cult-status, the rest of Dilla's catalog remains to be discovered by many. Over the years collaborators and those influenced by Dilla like ?uestlove of the Roots and producer Madlib, advocate and promote his music with hopes that it continues reach new heights. To celebrate the 15 year anniversary of this historic week in music, hear us discuss everything from Dilla's beginnings with Slum Village, his production for artists like A Tribe Called Quest and Common, and the many solo and collaborative projects of his that even continue to be released posthumously. This is our tribute episode to J Dilla.
