James Dewitt Yancey, better known under the name Jaydee or J-Dilla left us on february 10th 2006 at the age of 33. This american producer and composer has worked with a lot of artists such as Busta Rhymes, Common, Slum Village, A Tribe called Quest or Madlib. Through his creation, he in- fluenced many artists and musicians across the world which is not limited to the hip hop scene. Recognize by his peers for the imprint he has left in the musical landscape, this avant-garde is today considered like being simply a genius, a virtuoso, a precursor.
For the 6th year anniversary of his death, the Food for ya Soul collective (soundcloud.com/foodforyasoul), the silkscreen print Do the Right Print studio (dotherightprint.ch) & the label Feelin Music (feelinmusic.ch) came together around a common project in memory of J-Dilla. The Do The Dilla concept is born.
The idea is to bring together different artists to work and perpetuate J-Dilla’s art in order to give the audience a new visions of Dilla’s creations. A selection of beatmakers from across the world, as well as FFYS, DTRP & Feelin Music members worked for free to create a record containing Jaydee’s classics remixed.
The album is in line (and will be given away to the audience) with a live event called «Do The Dilla» which will take place on february 11th 2012 at Le Romandie in Lausanne with guests like Brussels own DJ Lefto from the famous jazz label Blue Note, Fatoosan from the Supafly collective along with Chief, founder of Feelin’ Music and of course the Helvetico- Belgian group Food for ya Soul in full force with Ngoc Lan, DJ Chikano, Mr Comb & Boo. Like last year, the event will be hosted by Parisian Gyver Hypman.

Big K.R.I.T. - 4Eva N A Day

Big K.R.I.T. - Sky Club

I'ma make it obvious there's no need for comparing//
My tolerance for these haters and fakers startin' to wear thin//
But I just bring the real, and point out what seems apparent//
Like my niggas being fly, call us Tuskegee airmen, no losses//
Shit turned real around the way//
My nigga moved to LA, in hopes to get it all straight//
And I'm just hoping he cool, that's my family to the grave//
So whenever he smooth we back on the same page//
It be like that//
Scared of the future but never been more excited//
Always had a dream but never been more inclined to take it//
I want it so bad I can taste it//
I'm allured by its looks and faded off its fragrance//
I been patiently waitin', I been patiently making//
These lessons to kick to y'all, cause y'all in need of some saving//
Second coming watch this youngin' shine//
When we gon be on? I tell em in due time//

[Chorus]
Stay forever on your grind keep your head held high to your dreams//
To your dreams and I swear that you'll succeed it's never outta your reach- as long as u believe//
x2

The lack of respect disgust me//
I'm something like a must see//
The way I see it, there's no one relevant round, but me//
And my team but that's a given//
What is also a given is my team full of winners//
I done seen couple niggas run and talk they shit on twitter//
Never acknowledge hate and focus on the bigger picture//
That's word to my nigga Geoff, told me we'd be up next//
He told me keep it 100, I told him its nothing less//
I keep constantly getting texts, from women some of them ex//
Who congratulate my success but they finally see what they left//
I been out here on a mission, never stoppin til I'm finished//
So in my history book them hoes is just another sentence//
In the past, them and bullshit occupy space//
Been chillin but now I'm back on my columbine ways//
If the strong move silent, I'm a mime//
Oh when we gon be on? I tell em in due time...//

[Chorus]
