Documentary: J Dilla Crate Diggers Fuse
- last year
"Crate Diggers" is a video series from Fuse that profiles artists and their record collections. (Previous episodes have featured Pete Rock, Just Blaze, Cut Chemist, Jermaine Dupri, Lord Finesse, and more.) The latest installment has the show traveling to a storage facility in Detroit to explore the late J Dilla's record collection.
The episode features Dilla's mother, "Ma Dukes" Yancey, plus Talib Kweli, J. Rocc, Illa J (Dilla's brother), Amp Fiddler, House Shoes, and DJ Spinna.
As you might recall, a large segment of Dilla's record collection was recently found by a Detroit-area record store in an abandoned storage unit. They ended up handing the collection back over to Ma Dukes. Ma Dukes is currently selling off pieces of the collection, one by one, on eBay.
