My boy DJ Haylow jus sent me this:

February has become the annual month when music fans around the world celebrate the life and music of the late great James Yancey (J Dilla) because his birth and his untimely death both happened in Feb (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006).
As a side story, I interviewed Pharrell of The Neptunes/N*E*R*D* in 2005. In that interview, Pharrell was naming different producers, and when Dilla's name came up, he called Dilla 'The Beat King of All Time'. For some one like Pharrell to say that at the height of his commercial success resonated with me; the one who everyone in mainstream music THOUGHT was the best, was paying homage to someone that pop culture barely knew.

Simply put. Dilla is the Beat King of All Time

It's that time again, as the spring rears its head for the new decade, we have the PAID DUES line-up.
I'm hella excited to see ICE CUBE
(could this be the return of the Westside Connection?).
I'm also glad to see THA DOGG POUND reunion show. DAZ & KURUPT are some of the illest emcees on the westcoast.
A BIG GROUP to watch is RANDOM AXE - BLACK MILK GUILTY SIMPSON & SEAN PRICE.
Shout out to MURS, STRONG ARM STEADY, DILATED PEOPLES & DEL THE FUNKYHOMOSAPIEN for keeping the westcoast indie scene on top. It's nice to see DOM KENNEDY, DUMBFOUNDEAD, & HOPIESPITSHARD on the bill as well. They definitely deserve it.

My good friends at 24Karat Milkcrate hipped me to this LA cat that I had never heard of. They sent me an exclusive freestyle that Sayknowledge made for them and when I heard it, I knew dude was special. He's a pretty young cat, but very well-minded. This track actually features an up-and-coming producer from the bay, Deluv. Check this song out and let me know what you think...
