Hip Hop1990s–2000s

About

James Dewitt Yancey, known as J Dilla, revolutionised hip hop production with his loose, swinging drum programming and deeply soulful sample flips. His posthumous album Donuts, released three days before his death in 2006, is considered one of the greatest beat tapes ever made. His influence on lo-fi, neo-soul, and underground hip hop is immeasurable.
