Listen Later

It's Dilla Time this week on the Good Music Show. On this episode, Julius leads us in a discussion on the legendary producer/rapper J Dilla, who tragically only has one 3 album run to talk about.

We'll cover his debut solo album, his most famous album that arrived 3 days before his passing, and what should be considered his final album even though it was finished and released posthumously. Dilla made a huge impact on music in general, so of course we'll talk about the many projects that he worked on and the resulting influence.

Dilla is a fascinating and mysterious figure, so we'll attempt to bust some of the myths surrounding him and his work. We hope listeners will get a chance to look past the huge impact of Donuts to discover everything he brought to the table and appreciate his unique talent.
