- À propos de moi
- James Dewitt Yancey (February 7 1974 – February 10 2006), known as J Dilla or Jay Dee, was an American hip hop producer and MC, who emerged from the mid-1990s underground hip-hop scene in Detroit, Michigan. He began his career as Jay Dee but used the name J Dilla from 2001 on. Many critics believe J Dilla's work to have had a major influence on his peers, and he perhaps embodied the neo soul sound, playing a defining yet understated role during the sub-genre's rise.
J Dilla was known as a producer's producer, and was highly regarded by better known producers such as Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Pharrell Williams. Many considered him as a musical genius. A large catalogue of his work, mostly unused beats, remains unreleased, and in some cases have been freely passed around through the internet, impressing enthusiasts and adding to his cult status.

Trivia
An album was completed by Dilla for MCA/Geffen Records in 2003. The album featured Dilla in an unusual position; he only handled MC duties while the beats were supplied by some of his favourite producers. The album contained contributions from Madlib, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, DJ House Shoes, Karriem Riggins, Supa Dave West, Kanye West, Nottz and more. The album also featured guest appearances from Bilal, Frank-N-Dank, and others. To date, only two of these songs have been heard in any form: a song called "Diamonds", produced by Nottz, which was played live at a J Dilla tribute concert in 2006 - the recording of which was ripped into an audio file and passed around on the Internet; and "Fight Club," which featured guest verses from Nottz and Boogie Man, and was produced by Waajeed and released on Jeed's label, Bling47's compilation, Best Kept Secret in 2003. Other tracks that have been mentioned in interviews, were remakes of Gary Numan's classic, "Cars," entitled "Trucks," and a remake of Vanity 6's "Drive Me Wild", completed with Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson of The Roots. It is also rumoured that the album will see an official release in the near future.
J Dilla's last show before his passing was in Belgium.
In addition to Jermaine Dupri, Dilla also shared the name 'Jay Dee' with a soul and funk artist, who released records during the mid 70s. This Jay Dee was a protégé of Barry White's and released a version of the song "Strange Funky Games & Things".0 commentaires 999 jours
