J-Dilla

The music world lost a great producer and rapper 10 years ago when J. Dilla crossed over February 10, 2006. He died of a blood disease three days after his birthday. Glynn Washington’s Snap Judgment shared a short radio documentary of what happened when record store owner Jeff Bubeck buys an old record collection out of an abandoned storage unit.  Jeff has no idea that the unit once belonged to J. Dilla.



Producer Pat Mesiti-Miller talks with Jeff Bubeck and Dilla’s mother, Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey.
