This is a short biography I did on legendary hip hop produced J Dilla in 2006 for Radio 1190 AM KVCU BoulderATTENTION: Thanks to the helpful eyes and ears of user ronmexico770 I've learned that Dilla in fact was left off of the Janet Jackson production credits, and not by request. Sorry about the error, I had read otherwise but ronmex put me up an interview with Dilla in which he details the situation and it is clear he was simply left off the credit, and that he did not ask to be. My bad.-Judge [ More Detail ]

Ahmad Jamal - SwahililandAhmad Jamal (born on July 2, 1930)is a noted American Jazz Pianist. Jamal was one of Miles Davis' favorite pianists and was a key influence on the trumpeter's "First Great Quintet" (featuring John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums). Davis had long admired Jamal's use of space and dynamics, and had asked Wynton Kelly to "sound more like Ahmad Jamal" on the track Freddie Freeloader on the well-known album Kind of Blue.http://www.ahmadjamal.net/J Dilla sampled this song for De La Soul's "Stakes is High" track back in 1996.

James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974--February 10, 2006), better known as J Dilla, or Jay Dee, was an acclaimed Hip-Hop producer who emerged from the mid-1990s underground Hip-Hop scene in Detroit, Michigan. He began his career as a member of the group Slum Village, and was also a driving force in the production trio The Ummah. Yancey started his career under the name "Jay Dee" (based on his initials) but used the name "J Dilla" from 2001 on. Many critics believe J Dilla's work to have had a major influence on his peers, and that he embodied the neo soul sound, playing a defining yet understated role during the sub-genre's rise (roughly from the mid-90s to the early 2000s). J Dilla was often dubbed "your favorite producer's favorite producer", and was highly regarded by mainstream artists and producers such as Common, Kanye West, A Tribe Called Quest, Just Blaze, Busta Rhymes, Pharrell Williams,and ?uestlove.Posthumous Releases and LegacyAside from Donuts, Dilla completed or nearly completed two more full length releases, during his illness. The first, The Shining, was released on August 8, 2006 by BBE Records. Final production of the album was handled posthumously by Karriem Riggins, whom Dilla had asked to help with the album. According to Riggins, The Shining was "75% completed when Dilla died."Rest in Beats J Dee On November 27, 2007, Busta Rhymes and Mick Boogie released Dillagence, a mixtape of older, and newer previously unreleased tracks featuring the MC over J Dilla productions. The compilation was made free for download from the web.
