Yes you read it, the people at Stones Throw Records have declared that February is not only Black History Month but Dilla month, in honor of the late producer James Dewitt Yancey also known as J Dilla, who's birthday is in the month of February. Dilla also died three days after his birthday three years ago this week in 2006. So if you have any Dilla music in your car or on your i pod turn it up for the rest of the month of February and lets show love for one of the greatest hip hop producers of our time, J Dilla!
