I was hoping the cover would be complete in time for me to post this on Dilla’s birthday. But, I’m glad that we waited a little bit because it allowed me listen to the songs a few more times, and make some last-minute tweaks.  I’ve decided to theme my Rendezvous mixes this year in order to challenge myself and take them to the next level. It’s February, so doing a tribute to one of my favorite producers and a true visionary was the first thing that came to mind.  Most people who visit Blind I are avid collectors of Dilla’s material, so there are probably no songs that we’ve left out over the years (see: No’s Dilla Vol. 1 and 2). So instead, I pulled together some of my favorites; group and solo material, original samples and music from unrelated artists that give me similarly warm vibes. I hope you enjoy. And while we’re all sharing material it’s important to remember that Dilla has a foundation. I made a donation a few weeks back, and I encourage you all to do the same: http://jdillafoundation.org/. No amount is too small. Supporting our youth and keeping music programs alive is our collective responsibility.
RIP James Dewitt Yancey.

  1. Thanks Maiya! I love and appreciate this Site and all its posts. Every February I look forward to the Dilla Compilations. This cover is dope and worth the wait. I will definitely make an effort to donate to the Dilla foundation. I am also looking forward to this years Donuts For Dilla in Brooklyn NY.
