Since Dilla passed, the week in which he celebrated his birthday (February 7th) and breathed his last breath (February 10th) marks the international J. Dilla week in hip-hop circles. His influence and talent are hard to overstate, and with last weeks slew of James Yancey-related posts from all over the world, we figured the cream of the crop merits an interruption of our regular Cuban Linx schedule for this special edition. Thank you Jay Dee.
