Jay Dee (later known as J Dilla) was one hell of a producer. He started out working with A Tribe Called Quest. Fast forward a few years and he was working with everyone from Eryka Badu and Common to Madlib and Ghostface Killah. He became an underground favourite during the late 90s, becoming in demand for his remixes and embodiment of the "neo-soul" sound. He finished Donuts, his beats masterpiece, while in the hospital and died soon after its completion. Posthumous releases of his signature beats such as The Shining have continued to garner attention and acclaim, with more releases to come. « hide
