J Dilla Is Probably The Most Notable Hip-Hop Figure To This Point

By Jonny R. Wally


In a very short span of time, James Dewitt Yancey also known as J Dilla or Jay Dee, achieved probably more than any artist would accomplish in a lifetime in terms of recorded hip-hop music outputs. J Dilla Songs prove to be some of the most inspiring and reputable tracks to this day.

From earning admiration for his signature music to producing many big award-winning artistic songs, Jay revolutionized the soul of hip-hop culture with a profound reverberation that acknowledged him as one of the most prominent artists/producers in the genre within the business.

J Dilla was born in 1974 on the 7th of February. Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, allowed Jay to be in tune with his music from a very early age. His pop, Beverly Yancey, was actually a skilled bass player and proficient musician connected to jazz while his mum, Maureen, was an enthusiast of conventional music plus an incredible singer. So Jay definitely had music flowing through his veins from birth. In Jay's primary years, he jiggled along to perfect sounding jams while his dad would practice.

Many people referred to Jay as the "producers' producer". The reason is because J Dilla's beats consistently was standing in the lead of hip-hop growth as it always came with an innovative flair which wasn't always congruent to the common hip hop sound of that time period.

The trendsetting and stylistic charisma of "J Dilla" was also reflected in his signature music and every beat of his songs always fell into place with the perfect pitch. The sense of order that combined with absolute wizardry, Jay's dress codes, lingos and attitudes were highly admired in the hip-hop culture.

His passion, innovation, and naturalness formed his off-beat drum signature that bestowed his tracks, which were perfectly distinguished and characterized by many of the contemporaries of his time.

Even when J Dilla was working on west coast music with Slum Village, his beats were on point enough to strike the listener as a masterpiece production. Jay is one of those guys who conveyed his brilliance through his beats. If it weren't for his tenacity and the objective of constantly bringing his music to new heights, many question where the hip hop culture would be today.

Unfortunately, on February 10, 2006, J Dilla passed away as he suffered from a blood disease. The hip-hop culture will forever remain gratified for this exceptional producer who still shines above the cloudless sky.

Jaydis Crete pays homage and his respects for the man himself who appreciated the rap industry to levels beyond measure. Jaydis can really resonate with the late and great J Dilla for living his life doing something that he truly loved and had a passion for. Being very motivated by way of the unparalleled spirit, Jaydis also completed a song to a beat which was produced by J Dilla called "The Setback". He then later did a song called "Celebration" to another J Dilla masterpiece. Both tracks are available on Jaydis's first mixtape called 'Parachute. Jaydis Crete was actually born and raised in the heart of where hip hop was birthed, New York City. It's easy to see why Jaydis will be so inspired to do a song over a Jay production, simply because his style of rap integrates soul along with an old school approach, which goes will with any Jay Dee beat.

By working with his very own branded words, Jaydis produces renowned, heedful, and inspirational texts that demand understanding of his astounding pieces in hip-hop society. He clearly does J Dilla beats incredible justice considering his old school "90s feel" technique of rap in certain tunes.

We hope to see Jaydis Crete further elaborate on his respect and honor for J Dilla in his up and coming Parachute II tape.
