With that thought we share with everyone today an amazing remix from Georgia Anne Muldrow of the song dedicated to Jada titled “GOD”. Laurie Walker sings the emotive chorus while 7even recollects the life changing time he spent with Jada.

Read moreBling47 takes you on a journey into samples used by Dilla. Filmed, edited, animated and directed by Waajeed. As we enter into Dilla Month and our final month of Bling47 Breaks, I’d like to thank those who have supported us from day one. Your positive feedback has been music to my ears on those late nights of editing and animating this series. Some of those days were not so eazy but here we are one year later. I started this series to shed some light on the man known as James “Dilla” Yancey. I believe that goal was achieved. We considered continuing this series as a paid subscription to cover some of the many hours put into each episode. To be honest, there is no amount that can be payed for this service. I’ve decided to bring it to an end and focus on my new label DIRT TECH RECK for the remainder of the year. We hope you’ll stay tuned. Enjoy! – Jeedo Previously: Bling47 Breaks Dilla Edition: Akalepse – The Last Donut [Video]

Many people realize how serious this situation is, and supporting us through Rockethub is a great way to help. The Rapathon will be filmed and all supporters will have a custom rhyme created and included in the documentary. H2C2 is a community based organization best known for conducting Hip Hop centric education youth programs, sneaker battles, artist showcases & expos, art exhibitions, and corporate special events. Our most significant event has been the record-breaking Rapathon, which has proven to be a great outlet for unsigned and upcoming artists to spread their message.
