"It’s Dilla Day ... or Jay Dee changed my life "


  

          

He would’ve been 45 years old today

I’d love to say that I was a lifeline fan but that’d be a lie.
In 2007ish Katie (nee) P put me on to Dilla as an entity. Some of it was stuff that I knew and much of it was new to me.
But it’s been damn great learning the man and his legacy.
I did the Donuts Party every year before last (we had a very small kid) since I moved up here. Partied there after we got engaged at 30 Rock.
I personally “mixed” a few songs to be our aisle music
And then R Tistic somehow managed to make a clean version of “Fall in Love” for our wedding playlist.


All this to say

Thank you Jay Dee.
