Description
On February 10th, 2006, the world of Hip Hop lost J Dilla aka Jay Dee.
James J Dilla Yancey leaves behind an impression on Hip Hop that will last the test of time. A bridge between Hip Hops underground and mainstream, Dillas contributions ranged from single handedly defining Detroit Hip Hop as a founding member of Slum Village to providing his production talents to Common, DAngelo, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, The Roots, Janet Jackson and Macy Gray.
The Shining marked the reunion of J Dilla & BBE, who had released Welcome 2 Detroit, J Dillas debut album. The Shining serves as showcase of J Dillas talents which features him not only as a producer, but also as a rapper, singer and musician. Featured guests on this album include Busta Rhymes, Common, Pharoahe Monch, DAngelo, Madlib, Black Thought, Medaphor aka MED, and Guilty Simpson.
