FEBRUARY 2006 - It is with great sorrow that the Family and Friends of J Dilla announces his spiritual transition on the morning of February 10th, 2006 in the loving arms of his mother, Maureen Yancey.

J Dilla had suffered for over three years with an incurable blood disease, and had also been diagnosed with lupus.

He leaves behind a body of work which will be loved and rediscovered for years to come. His most recent album “Donuts” was released on February 7th, the day of his 32nd birthday. “The Shining” was released in August 2006. “Ruff Draft” will be officially re-issued March 2007.
