The City of Detroit decided to honor legendary Hip Hop producer, DJ and rapper James Dewitt Yancey, better known as J Dilla, by naming a street after him on the city's East side.
BridgeDetroit Engagement Editor and massive Dilla fan Bryce Huffman (@clones2012) went to the unveiling yesterday. Dilla's daughters made remarks alongside City Council President Mary Sheffield and Joylette Hunter, the Spokesperson for the Dilla estate.
Dilla passed away in 2006 just 3 days after he turned 32 years old. His legacy lives on in the hearts, souls and headphones of Hip Hop fans across the globe.
February 7th is now officially J Dilla Day in Detroit.
2024 is nearing its end and we just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us this year!
Happy Holidays from all of us at BridgeDetroit! We've got a lot of cool things coming in the next year, so stay tuned!
Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield has officially announced that she's running to become the city's next mayor.
Sheffield would become the first woman to be Detroit's mayor if she wins.
The race could be a crowded one, as four people have already created fundraising committees.
