Phife Dawg – “Dear Dilla” (Produced By DJ Rasta Root)

artworks-000068052400-zr878a-t500x500When Phife Dawg & DJ Rasta Root let me hear this song ‘Dear Dilla’ honoring the late great Detroit emcee & producer J Dilla a short time back I immediately knew it was something special.  The DJ Rasta Root produced track provides the perfect soundscape for such an emotional, heartfelt, & sonically superb song.

#dearDilla is an open letter to Phife’s long time friend and producer, the legendary J Dilla (James Dewitt Yancey), who passed away on 2006 from complications of a rare blood disorder.

Just wait until y’all see the video directed by Chicago filmmaker Konee Rok that’s about to drop soon.  Trust me it’s a very dope clip featuring cameos from Dwele, Uncle Herm, T3, & more.  If you live in Atlanta the #dearDilla video will premier February 6th at the Midtown Art Cinema from 7:30pm-9:30pm with a Q&A hosted my yours truly & it will also premier at Dilla Day in Detroit on February 7th at the Fillmore. This is also the first official single to Phife Dawg’s upcoming album ‘MUTTYmorPHosis’ due later this year.
