While sitting at home, drinking vodka, YouTubing keyboard tutorials I came across a J Dilla song I love - "We've Got So Far To Go". This tune is solid evidence of Dilla's genius. As I covered this classic I was filled with intense emotion and awe. It's joyful tones and Dilla's trademark bounce is a reminder as to why this musician is one my biggest influences.
