For those who may not know, February is "Dilla Month" to us Hip-Hop heads. I guarantee that every website/radio station focused on Hip-Hop will pay homage to one of the most beloved Producers of our time at some point in the next few weeks...and if they don't, they're posers.
Last night I spent over 3 hrs prepping my J. Dilla Tribute for this week's Go Live Radio broadcast and decided to share songs by people I know who are showing love to Jay Dee through music.
This track was played on last week's Go Live broadcast and Mr. Ivory Snow's dedication mixtape will be released at 2:04 pm today.
I went to an artist showcase this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised when an artist by the name of Ivory Snow rejuvenated the crowd from an inevitable coma as they waited for the "main acts" to perform (I was waiting for Nike Nando, Mike Millions, & Nick Fury).
I'm not saying the previous performers were wack, only that THIS artist stood out to me. Here's a recap video of the show plus Ivory Snow's "Till Death Do Us Part" mixtape after the jump. Make sure you check out #4 "They Not Ready", #7 "Dilla Rocks", & #10 "Bite Our Style".
His new mixtape "The Final Draft" (dedicated to J. Dilla) will be released on Feb 4th.
I'm still nursing a bad cold (as you see me coughin like crazy on air) so please bear with me and my lack of posts in the past week. Here's last week's show:
