THANK YOU JAY DEE ACT 4

Here’s another Act. Just when you thought it was safe. The month of Dilla is over but not the music or the memory.

In the words of Gaslamp Killer “This mix is psychedelic.”

DOING IT FOR DILLA + L.A. SUITE FOR MA DUKES

I was running around and forgot to put this up yesterday. Shepard Fairey of Obey/Obama Poster fame and artist B+ collaborated to create this special print of Dilla Dog in efforts to raise money for Ma Dukes. The print, of which only 400 were made, releases today and is going for $55. It’s 18 in x 24 in and can be picked up at Obey’s site. In conjunction with the poster, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Carlos Nino are hosting  “A Suite For Ma Dukes” with special guests House Shoes & J Rocc in L.A. on Sunday. Details for that event are also on the Obey site. As a preview they released footage of a jam session in preparation:

JAYLIB LIVE!

Stones Throw has Jaylib’s 1st ever performance together from April 2004 posted on their site & I highly recommend you peep it if you haven’t already. In J Rocc’s own words…

This is the first show we ever did. It was a party for the release of the Madvillain LP. We didn’t practice for the show… or any of them for that matter. I would ask them what they wanted to perform then they would go, “I don’t know….you make up the set list”… hahaha.

Well, thank you to Madlib & the Stones Throw Family (Wolf, Jank & Egonavichi) for giving me such an experience. It was a blessing … Getting to spin for my favorite producers. I remember getting tapes from Jake One of Slum Village and beat tapes and just geeking out with the few homies who knew what time it was. Then I’m getting to d.j. and go on tour with this dude. Man, talk about a dream come true.

Anyhow…enough with the heartfelt moments..
