Today would have been the 37th birthday of legendary producer James “J Dilla” Yancy. To celebrate the life of the amazing producer, SOHH has a brief essay by none other than Busta Rhymes, who has previously stated that every solo Busta album featured some contribution from the Detroit beatmaker, although not always credited. Busta quite simply tells SOHH, “Dilla is the greatest producer that I’ve ever met personally.”
Since his untimely passing in 2006, Dilla’s recorded output has barely slowed, as the prolific producer left a lot of material unreleased. One of the more recent additions to the catalog is Jaylib‘s “Louder (Blast Your Radio Theme),” a collaboration with Madlib from the pair’s unreleased second album that Stones Throw let into the world last month.

With the god-awful summer temperatures finally cooling down and Electric Zoo officially wrapping up the summer music festival season, there’s no denying that fall and real life is back in full swing. We have some treats to help tide you over, though–pictures and a bit of a review (albeit a little late) from the last stop of the Rock the Bells 2010 tour in DC.
To call the final RTB show (8/29) at the Merriweather Post Pavillion an emotional rollercoaster would be an understatement. Up until the final hour were worries about the show being shut down due to the city’s 11 p.m. curfew, with festival-goers caught in a limbo of “will-she/won’t-he perform?” anxiety.
Hit “Read More” for photos and review.
