J Dilla DVD Accepting Fan Submissions

Jay Dee’s music touched nearly every true hip hop head that’s ever put on a pair of headphones, and his memory will never be forgotten. In an effort to fully memorialize and celebrate the life of the late J Dilla, a DVD is being compiled to accompany his new release on BBE, entitled ‘The Shining’. The DVD will feature a spotlight on Dilla’s accomplishments, history as well as interviews with fellow artists, and tributes from fans. The director of the DVD, Brian "B. Kyle" Atkins, has issued an open call for fan submissions inspired by the groundbreaking producer to be showcased on the DVD. The deadline for submissions is April 11th, and to submit work you must submit the material in one of the following categories; Dillustrations: (paintings, ink drawings, charcoal, etc.), Dillified: A category for J Dilla customized items (e.g. sneakers, bags, etc.), Photo Gallery: candid photos (i.e. no publicity shots) and Dilla TV: videotaped thoughts, stories and reflections about J Dilla.
