Overview

Dilla Dedication --- 2006

"The recent passing of hip-hop producing legend James "J-Dilla" Yancey has inspired numerous commemorative tributes to his prolific production work and innovative sound which is credited to bringing an authentic soul sound to hip-hop. The latest tribute comes from Jacksonville Florida based DJ Crew Little Green Apples who deliver the first thorough musicology of Dilla's work side-by-side with the original classics which he sampled and re-worked into fresh Hip-Hop masterpieces over his 15 year career. "The Quintessential J-Dilla Musicology Mix" is nearly 80 minutes of Dilla inspired soul, funk, and hip-hop mixed to perfection by the LGA crew that will give novice and hardcore Dilla fans a true appreciation of the legend and his work. "The Quintessential J-Dilla Musicology Mix" spans Dilla's early works with groups like The Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest as well as rare Dilla works and exclusive interviews that help shape the musicology into a complete offering showcasing the true depth of Dilla's career in music. The hopes of LGA are that this tribute will serve as a time capsule for future generations of music lovers to discover the soulful and prolific works of James "J-Dilla" Yancey long after the mourning of his untimely passing has subsided."
