With this quick digital portrait, I wanted to pay homage to arguably the most influential Hip Hop producer of all time, James J Dilla Dewitt Yancey. Although he tragically passed away from a rare disease in 2006, he still managed to have an incredibly prolific career. His innovative use of irregular drum patterns left a heavy influence on not only Hip Hop but music as a whole, as detailed in Dan Charnas’ book Dilla Time.
