All Praise to J Dilla: Happy Birthday!

If you’re a genuine hip-hop head then you’re already fully aware of the J Dilla flow–the man is a creative genius who left us hella early, but none the less, forever instilled a greater sound into our music brains. It’s an awesome feeling and beautiful thing to tribute Bob Marley yesterday and J Dilla today! Happy 38th birthday brother!
