"A Suite For Ma Dukes" Recording Session.

On Sunday, a 36-piece orchestra will interpreting the music of J Dilla in a tribute called "A Suite For Ma Dukes." This is video of their first recording session where they play one of my favorite Jay Dee tracks of all time, Slum Village's "Fall in Love."

I will be at the event on Sunday, and will report back with a review and hopefully photos. If you're going to be there, hit me up.

J. Dilla x Obey “A Personal Appreciation” Print

As many of you know, J. Dilla’s mother “Ma Dukes” Yancey is now suffering from Lupus, the same disease that took her son's life in 2006. Her condition has recently become more severe and now friends are asking for your help. Previous fund raising efforts were seen through a shirt via Stones Throw and artist Parra. Shepard Fairey and Brian Cross (B+) have linked up to help the cause with a special print of J. Dilla based on a 2003 photograph taken by B+. In a limited run of 400, the prints will release on February 20th at a retail price of $55 USD (18 in x 24 in).
