J Dilla’s Legacy Lives on in Upcoming Documentary From Hulu and FX”

Hulu, in partnership with FX, is gearing up to debut a new documentary that delves into the life and career of J Dilla, one of hip-hop’s most renowned beatmakers. “The Legacy Of J Dilla,” which is set to air on April 7th, is being produced as part of FX’s series “The New York Times Presents” and is described as an “intimate portrait” of Dilla’s work and influence.

The documentary has received support and assistance from J Dilla’s family and will shed light on the tragic circumstances that surrounded the artist’s estate following his passing in 2006. The involvement of his mother, Maureen Yancey, in the documentary is reflective of her resilience and unwavering support for her son’s legacy.

Meanwhile, another documentary titled “Dilla Time” was announced last year, which is being produced with the cooperation of J Dilla’s estate. The documentary is based on author Dan Charnas’s biography titled “Dilla Time: The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla, The Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm” and is set to provide viewers with a comprehensive look into J Dilla’s life and musical contributions.

As fans eagerly await the debut of both “The Legacy Of J Dilla” and “Dilla Time,” it’s clear that the impact of J Dilla on the hip-hop industry continues to be felt even today. No news on how UK viewers will be able to watch the documentary as yet.
