The amount of praise and accolades that have been attributed to the name of the late, great James Yancey (aka J.Dilla) may be exhaustive at this point, but it's not any less worthy or true.

To commemorate the 2nd anniversary of his untimely passing, here are two special tributes/celebrations to the man behind the music that changed hip hop forever.


First off, tune into WPRK this Saturday for some of Dilla's classic creations, played live on the air by DJ Y-Not.


The next night, the party continues at BBQ Bar downtown, where Y-Not, Secret Weapon, and Kutzu continue the celebration, with an hour-long recreation of Dilla's seminal 'Donuts' album.

THANK YOU, JAY DEE!!!
