Today In History
James DeWitt Yancey aka J Dilla, was born on this date February 7, 1974, in Detroit, Michigan.
“He came across like an angel on earth,” singer and songwriter Steve “Spacek” White told Fader magazine in 2006.
Most people tend to speak of him this way. His contributions to music were indeed felt as angelic, no matter the alias John Doe, MC Silk, Jay Dee, or J Dilla. But the James Yancey legacy is wide-ranging. What he contributed to the culture and lives of others was duly as significant.
Today you can visit the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. and see on display the MIDI Production Center 3000 Limited Edition used by J Dilla

So.
Met this stranger today . Ended up talking for about an hour . He reckons I should start posting music I've worked on & extending myself to other artists.
Who knows , may have been God speaking through him to me.
Time will tell.
Nevertheless. Here it is.
Whoever wants to co-create. Hit me up.
