\nOn Sunday February 16, 2020, Brooklyn Bowl in New York\u2019s Williamsburg played host to \u201cDonuts Are Forever,\u201d an annual gathering of fans, friends and family of the late, great James \u201cJ Dilla\u201d Dewitt Yancey. This was the 14th such celebration and fundraiser held since the untimely death of the Detroit producer and MC in 2006. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before succumbing to complications from a rare blood disease and lupus, Dilla \u2014 <\/span>as a member of Slum Village, collaborator with peers like Madlib, and as a solo artist \u2014 changed the sound of Hip Hop, R&B and even jazz with lush and future forward productions like Slum Village\u2019s \u201cPlayers,\u201d The Pharcyde\u2019s \u201cRunnin,\u201d De La Soul\u2019s \u201cStakes Is High\u201d and so many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, on this almost balmy (by New York Winter standards), 43-degree night, author Dan Charnas stood elbow-to-elbow with those attending a sonic sermon for one of the greatest producers to have ever lived.<\/p>\n

Headlining that night was Dilla influence turned peer and friend, Pete Rock, one of the 200 subjects Charnas interviewed for his exhaustive tome on the life and afterlife of Yancey, <\/span>Dilla Time<\/span><\/i><\/a>, which he was still working on at the time. Charnas was not a regular attendee of the annual tribute, despite having worked with Yancey many years ago during his previous life as a record executive. His first time attending was the year prior when he was teaching a course on Dilla at NYU, the catalyst for his book.<\/span><\/p>\n
