He was the eldest of four children, including a sister, Martha, and two brothers, Earl and John John later began doing music as Illa J. The family lived at a corner house near Mc. Dougall and Nevada, on the east side of Detroit. He developed a vast musical knowledge from his parentshis mother is a former opera singer and his father was a jazz bassist. According to his mother, he could match pitch perfect harmony by two months old, to the amazement of musician friends and relatives. He began collecting vinyl at the age of two and would be allowed to spin records in the park, an activity he enjoyed tremendously as a child. Along with a wide range of musical genres, Yancey developed a passion for hip hop music. After transferring from Davis Aerospace Technical High School to Detroit Pershing High School, he met classmates T3 and Baatin, and became friends with them through mutual love of rap battles. The three formed a rap group called Slum Village. He also took up beatmaking using a simple tape deck as the center of his studio. During these teenage years he stayed in the basement alone with his ever growing collection of records, perfecting his craft. Early careereditIn 1. Detroit musician Amp Fiddler, who was impressed by what Jay Dee was able to accomplish with such limited tools. Amp Fiddler let Jay Dee use his MPC, which he learned quickly. In 1. 99. 5, Jay Dee and MC Phat Kat formed 1st Down, and would be the first Detroit hip hop group to sign with a major label Payday Records a deal that was ended after one single when the label folded. That same year he recorded Yester Years EP with 5 Elementz a group consisting of Proof, Thyme and Mudd. In the year 1. 99. Slum Village along with T3 and Baatin, and recorded the groups debut, Fan Tas Tic Vol. RJ Rice Studios. Upon its release in 1. Detroit hip hop, as well as gaining the attention of Q Tip, who hailed the group as successors to A Tribe Called Quest. However, J Dilla felt uncomfortable with the comparison and often voiced it in several interviews. It was kinda fucked up getting that stamp because people automatically put us in that Tribe category. That was actually a category that we didnt actually wanna be in. I thought the music came off like that, but we didnt realize that shit then. I mean, you gotta listen to the lyrics of the shit. Niggas was talking about getting head from bitches. It was like a nigga from Native Tongues never woulda said that shit. I dont know how to say it. Its kinda fucked up because the audience we were trying to give to were actually people we hung around. Me, myself, I hung around regular ass Detroit cats. Not the backpack shit that people kept putting out there like that. I mean, I aint never carried no goddamn backpack. But like I said, I understand to a certain extent. I guess thats how the beats came off on some smooth type of shit. And at that time, thats when Ruff Ryders was out and there was a lot of hard shit on the radio so our thing was were gonna do exactly whats not on the radio. By the mid 1. Jay Dee was known as a major hip hop prospect, with a string of singles and remix projects, for Janet Jackson, Pharcyde, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, Q Tips solo album and others. Many of these productions were released without his name recognition, being credited to The Ummah, a production collective composed of him, Q Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, and later Raphael Saadiq of TonyToni Ton However, he was given songwriting credit on all of his non remix productions under The Ummah. Under this umbrella, Jay did some of his most big name R B and hip hop work, churning out original songs and remixes for Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Brand New Heavies, Something For the People, trip hop artists Crustation and many others. This all came off the heels of Jay handling production on seven tracks from The Pharcydes album Labcabincalifornia, released in the holiday season of 1. Hello, the debut album by Poe, released earlier that year on Modern Records. Performing careeredit2. Slum Village with Fantastic, Vol. Jay Dee as a producer and an MC. He was also a founding member of the production collective known as The Soulquarians along with Ahmir Questlove Thompson, DAngelo and James Poyser amongst others which earned him more recognition and buzz. He subsequently worked with Erykah Badu, Poe, Talib Kweli, and Common contributing heavily to the latters critically acclaimed breakthrough album, Like Water for Chocolate. His debut as a solo artist came in 2. Fuck the Police Up Above Records, followed by the album Welcome 2 Detroit, which kicked off British independent record label BBEs Beat Generation series. In 2. 00. 1, Jay Dee began using the name J Dilla an attempt to differentiate himself from Jermaine Dupri who also goes by J. D., and left Slum Village to pursue a major label solo career with MCA Records. Dilla producing the entirety of Frank N Danks 4. Hours, as well as a solo album, but neither record was ever released, although the former did eventually surface through bootlegging. When Dilla finished working with Frank N Dank on the 4. Hours album, MCA Records requested a record with a larger commercial appeal, and the artists re recorded the majority of the tracks, this time using little to no samples. Despite this, neither versions of the album saw the light of day, and Dilla expressed he was disappointed that the music never got out to the fans. Dilla was signed to a solo deal with MCA Records in 2. Although Dilla was known as a producer rather than an MC, he chose to rap on the album and have the music produced by some of his favorite producers1. Madlib, Pete Rock, Hi Tek, Supa Dave West, Kanye West, Nottz, Waajeed and others. The album was shelved due to internal changes at the label and MCA. While the record with MCA stalled, Dilla recorded the uncompromising Ruff Draft, released exclusively to vinyl by German label Groove Attack. Although the album was little known, it signaled a change in sound and attitude, and his work from this point on was increasingly released through independent record labels. In a 2. 00. 3 interview with Groove Attack, Dilla talked about this change of direction You know, if I had a choice. Skip the major labels and just put it out yourself, man. Trust me. I tell everybody its better to do it yourself and let the Indies come after you instead of going in their direction and getting a deal and you have to wait. It aint fun. Take it from me. Right now, Im on MCA but it feels like Im an unsigned artist still. Its cool. Its a blessing, but damn Im like, Whens my shit gonna come outKid Koala Presents The Slew Live. From the Tour Only Album 1. Its All Over You Turn Me Cold Direct LinkA couple of years back Eric San aka Kid Koala and Dylan J. Frombach aka Dynomite D were approached to soundtrack a new documentary feature film that was in production. Koala was already well known for his uncanny turntable manipulation, whilst Dylan had remixed Money Mark and collaborated with the Beastie Boys, amongst others. The duo worked for a long time on the psych rock influenced score, only for the filming to collapse and any release to be canned. Although the film may never see the light of day, its music is about to be brought to life on stage. Recently Koala Dylan met the former rhythm section of Grammy Award winning Australian rock band Wolfmother and began telling them all about the film and its lost music. Chris Ross and Myles Heskett loved the clips and urged that the material had to be heard subsequently Kid Koala and the guys decided to put a show on the road. After intensive rehearsals the show is now ready to go. Featuring drums, basskeys and the DJs working across a truly excessive six turntables, the set is seventy minutes of raw guitar cuts and heavy beats. We can guarantee that you will never have heard anything quite like this and also that you are unlikely to again.
