Red Bull Music Academy Presents: Boombox 5th Annual J Dilla Tribute [Concert Review]

In the spirit of this wonderful J Dilla month, i had the great opportunity to attend one of the many J Dilla tributes happening out here in the city of Angels. Fellow music aficionado Joolyaah and I were in attendance at Boombox's 5th annual J Dilla Tribute hosted by the Red Bull Music Academy, held at the Grandstar Jazz Club in Chinatown Los Angeles. This years tribute show included sets from the legendary Maseo of De La Soul and Ali Shaheed Muhammed from none other than A Tribe Called Quest. In addition our ears were also blessed with the local talented Boombox LA Djs. Amidst the swarm of bodies by the bar and packed room Joolyaah began frantically screaming, "Guilty Simpson is here, Guilty Simpson is here...!" yet another musical emcee gracing the streets, airwaves, and that night those in attendance with his tantalizing beats.

J Dilla - Dreamy

J Dilla : Official | Facebook | The J Dilla Foundation : Official | Facebook

As we have now been officially ushered into the Age of Aquarius, the very first step in this long adventurous journey will begin with the month of February. Every February we celebrate the life + music + love of J Dilla with our annual Dillathon broadcast on KPFK 90.7FM. Through the watchful eye of our fallen musicians stars have aligned and paths have crossed between the J Dilla Foundation and ourselves. The result has culminated in the Featured Interview w/ Ma Dukes by Eccentric. In addition to the featured interview we have extended the Flip It For Dilla tribute contest to last until our February 18th Dank Radio broadcast with in-studio guest The Internet (Syd Tha Kyd & Matt Martians of Odd Future). So please take your time and make your music right before sending it our way. In addition to having your music heard on FM Airwaves across the ether we will also be doing a mini feature artist interview with the winner. Our annual Dillathon will broadcast LIVE this Saturday February 4th from 4am-6am [PST] on KPFK 90.7FM LA and throughout the world at kpfk.org. We will have a special LIVE in-studio DJ set by J-logic along with other goodies from the likes of Z, Daedelus, and others.

Ma Dukes aka Maureen Yancey talks about the J Dilla Foundation, the importance of the Arts, and new album 'Rebirth of Detroit' [Feature Interview]

   Just as J Dilla aka Jay Dee aka James Dewitt Yancey’s music had magically appeared into my life, so had my connection with the J Dilla Foundation. It all started with a simple Facebook friend request from Marketing/Brand Manager Diana Boardley. I usually don’t go through with random friend requests but this time I took a glance just to see what it was that brought this new person into my life. Upon clicking Diana’s profile I noticed her affiliation with the J Dilla foundation and the rest is history.

Eccentric: Hello Ma Dukes! Thank you for taking the time to sit down and chat with us. How are you doing today? How is your New Year going so far?

Ma Dukes: Thank you for having me today, I’m fine thank you, health is improving. This new year is looking up with innovative ideas to help us keep up and incorporate new ideas as we move forward. It’s time for new beginnings and progress..
