"The Genius Of J Dilla" Vol.3 Sun 20th Feb @ Ching A Lings, Sydney

Jay Dee / J Dilla born James D Yancey, was one of the few artists whose records were bought on sight, played until digested and then discussed among fans and critics.

He kept Hip Hop relevant long after many of its greatest heroes had left it for dead, at least creatively and is often described as "your favourite producers favourite producer". There are many talented beat makers and producers, but there will only be one J Dilla.

To commemorate the 5th anniversary of his untimely death 'The Main Ingredients' celebrated the music of J Dilla paying homage to the man who shaped a new sound for Hip Hop that inspired beatsmiths, MC's and music lovers around the globe.
