The J Dilla Foundation along with the Elixir Media Group are hosting the 1st annual "NY Loves Dilla" show at New York City's Webster Hall. The event will be the first tribute showcase in New York dedicated to Hip Hop producer James "J Dilla" Yancey who died of a blood disease in 2006.
Talib Kweli and other special guests are set to perform, and an all-Dilla set by DJ Parler will follow the show. Proceeds from "NY Loves Dilla" will benefit the J Dilla Foundation. The non-profit organization, started by Dilla's mother Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey, helps provide scholarships to students attending schools with progressive music curriculum.
