j-dilla-obey-print

In a battle with lupus which ultimately took his life, music producer J. Dilla touched the hearts of many through his powerful legacy. For J. Dilla’s mother “Ma Dukes” Yancey who was a tireless helper through Dilla’s battle with the disease, she is also is affected by the same disease that took her soon prematurely. Her condition has recently become more severe as friends jump on-board to help her out. Previous fund raising efforts were seen through a shirt via Stones Throw and artist Parra. Shepard Fairey alongside Brian Cross (B+) has also joined the cause with a special print of J. Dilla based on a 2003 photograph. In a run of 400, the prints will release on February 20th at a retail price of $55 USD (18 in x 24 in). For info on Brian Cross’ own experiences with Dilla, check ObeyGiant.com.

    Great artist, sad ending.
    To bad all these things pops up in stores after his death, would have been better if we would have seen it while he was breathing. hate all this “let’s-make-money-of-dead-peoples-work”.
    Filters in PS seems a bit lazy, they could have doneso much more with this.

    By the way, who the foops cares if you are a producer “Platinum”, wrong forum to brag about yourself.

    NICE! Good to see people coming together for the cause.
    Everyone who enjoys Dilla needs to go out & support, especially
    those heads downloading his music and never copping the real deal.
    Peace to Ma Dukes!
