Dilla Time: The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla, the Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm - Paperback

by Dan Charnas (Author)

It's Dilla Time. Finally. Dilla Time is the story of the invention of a new kind of time, a new kind of sound by the most influential music producer of the last 25 years, someone you may never heard of: J. Dilla. He's revered by rappers, producers, and living legends of music-but Dilla himself never rose to mainstream fame, despite revolutionizing the way music sounds before his untimely death at the age of 32.
