Benji B - J Dilla: Gone Too Soon
Monday, October 31, 2011 at 7:53PM
Benji B yesterday wrapped up 1Xtra's brilliant Gone Too Soon series by paying tribute to both mine and his favourite producer of all-time, the one and only J Dilla. He portrays Dilla's life story beautifully by providing exclusive interviews with Plug 2 from De La Soul, Mos Def, Questlove from The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, J.Rocc, Slum Village members T3 and Wajeed, his brother Illa J and his incredible mum, Ma Dukes. There have been many tributes put together since his passing in 2006, but this one in particular allows people to connect with Jay Dee, learn about how he made those beats, what he was like as a person and the legacy he left behind. Forever the greatest to ever do it.
