James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006)

It kind of goes without saying that J. Dilla touched the lives of many. Here at The Happy Black Girl, I guess you can say for Jay Dee, the love is unlimited. In celebrating the life and legacy of one of music’s finest producers, I thought I’d post just a few of my favorite Dilla joints. What are yours?

Rest in Power J. Dilla!
