- Synopsis
- You might not know his name, but he was your favorite musician's favorite musician. J Dilla was a producer who not only changed hip-hop, he actually changed music itself. His brief life and tragic death birthed an enduring global movement, built upon a complicated life and legacy. This feature documentary—part biography, part musicology, part musical meditation—tells the story of James Yancey, a.k.a. J Dilla, the kid from Detroit who reinvented rhythm.
