J Dilla: Still Shining (Documentary)

If you have the time to sit through a 40-minute documentary of J Dilla (and if you’re on this site at this time of day, it’s obvious that you do) I recommend you check this out.

Created in 2006, this remembrance piece is created as a tribute to the memory and legacy of James “J. Dilla” Yancey. This is a piece designed for his fans and supporters who knew of his accomplishments before February 2006 and those that have grown to appreciate his genius. Here, we gain a greater insight and understanding about our musical icon.

J.Dilla is Still Shining.
