Yasiin Bey Plays J Dilla

Yasiin Bey, frequently known as Mos Def, will take to London’s indigo at The O2 to perform classic tracks from the back catalogue of the legendary producer J Dilla.

11 June is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness Mos Def pay tribute to the late Jay Dee and his revered legacy. Soundcrash will host a one-off show where Mos Def will rap over the beats of one of hip-hop’s most influential, admired and respected figures.

The ascendancy of J Dilla in the 90s and 00s was astronomical. J Dilla’s talent as a producer led him to working with the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Madlib, D’Angelo, MF DOOM, The Pharcyde and of course Mos Def himself. Tragically James D. Yancey passed away in 2006 but his influence on the hip-hop world is felt still from the impact of his unique beats and a host of posthumous releases.
