The J DILLA Legacy

What is DILLA Youth Day?

Why DILLA Youth Day?

DILLAFeaturing thestudioArena Mobile Maker Space

WITH SUPPORT FROM

Dilla Youth Day is a participatory annual event celebrating and sharing the legacy of one of the most prolific Music Producers in history. thestudioArena Mobile Maker Space combines the unique genius traditions of Hip Hop’s power-ful musical, visual, and performing arts, with the genius engineers, hackers, innovators of DIY Making and Maker Spaces to catalyze the energy of youth, teen and adult communities to create an experience of innovation in sound, lighting, and motion technology. based on the “Disco-Tech” (discovering technology) model created by The Detroit Digitial Justice Technology Coalition that bridges the digital divide by helping underserved commu-nities gain access to technology. DYD began at 5eGallery in 2010 led by Piper Carter co-Founder of The Foundation of Women in Hip Hop (We Found Hip Hop). The event experienced such phenomenal growth that it was moved to The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History to increase its capacity to provide access. Now in it’s 5th year, this event has expanded the vision inspired by the strong spirit of invention in Detroit as home to many musical and technological movements that have had global impact such as the reign of Motown soul, the birth of Techno, and the assembly line. We are also inspired by the new ideas and energy of the youth and how they will turn their visions into reality.

James Dewitt “J DILLA” Yancey’s legacy is celebrated in over 20 major cities worldwide during the month of February commemorating his birth & death (February 7, 1972-February10, 2006).Raised in the Conant Gardens section of Detroit, he has created chart topping singles for Dwele, Common, D’Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Q Tip, Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, & many others as well as genre redefining solo releases, J DILLA’s work touched all seven continents, and left a forever mark on history and popular music. He is credited with creating the genre known as “Neo Soul”. DILLA succumbed to Lupus in 2006 at the age of 32. Maureen Yancey aka Ma Dukes created The J DILLA FOUNDATION now titled The James Dewitt Yancey Foundation to ensure his musical legacy is at the forefront of providing music education for youth.

DILLAYOUTHDAY

The social impact of Hip Hop is a cultural revolution which crosses borders, inspires ideas & influences behaviors. Encouraging freedom of expression. healthy competition, independent thought, & positive self-identity, our mission is to educate and empower the community through sharing our love of the arts while inspiring change and growth. We utilize Hip Hop as a tool for community engagement, youth development, building community through collaboration, and most importantly nurturing people. In keeping with the DIY spirit of the DILLA style of Music Production, the culture of Mechanical Ingenuity of Detroit, & the removal of arts & Culture from Public Education, we aim to give more opportu-nities to young people to become makers and learn practical skills that can be applied to their own creative process. We Created this Free and open event as a fun, compelling, hands-on program that inspires young learners in S.T.E.A.M. (Science Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math) disciplines, connecting youth to technologies in order to help them realize the creative potential of cutting-edge hardware and software tools. We also connect Detroit’s Best Music Producers & Community Leaders with youth to teach them not only the techniques and equipment but also the history of the Dilla Production Style in order to preserve this unique culture of Hip Hop.

DILLAHISTORYLESSON

Learn the History of J Dilla with AMP Fiddler.

J Dilla's most important early friendship was with Joseph “Amp” Fiddler, who mentored the young Dilla in what it meant to be a music producer. It was through his sessions at “Camp Amp” (the name given to Fiddler's studio) that Yancey mastered the art of digital programming, and encountered the drum machines that would make up part of his multi-layered, chopped up production sound.
