Brooklyn Vegan reports that Just will be headlining this years James “J Dilla” Yancey tribute event and fundraiser in New York City which is set to take place at SRB Brooklyn on February 17th.
The fundraiser, for which all proceeds go to the J Dilla Foundation, will also include DJ’s like Shawn Dub, Tara, Center, Parler, Stylus and host Fresh Daily. It was previously headlined in 2011 by The Roots’ Questlove.
The mission of the J Dilla Foundation is to help fund inner-city music programs and provide scholarships to students attending schools that have progressive music curriculums.
In addition to “Donuts Are Forever,” Dilla’s hometown of Detroit will be celebrating his life and works at the Fillmore as part of Dilla Days which kicks off tonight and lasts throughout the weekend.
J Dilla, who would have turned 39 yesterday, died in February 2006 at the age of 32 of 2006 from complications due to his fight with Lupus.
