J Dilla's Brother Continue His Legacy

AlbeeYap
Illa J debuts his first hip hop album release which is entirely produced by J Dilla, his brother who passed away in 2006. Illa J speaks on his brother and how he influenced him to become the musician that he is now. Although his entire family were musicians, Illa J has yet to talk about how it was living with his brother. J Dilla left a historic mark and impact in hip hop culture influencing hip hop artists like Common, Kanye West, Pharrell, A Tribe Called Quest, the Pharcyde and Questlove (The Roots). Illa J combines his talent with his brother's mid-90s production to today's generation.
