It's Dilla Time. Finally. Dilla Time is the story of the invention of a new kind of time, a new kind of sound. by the most influential music producer of the last 25 years, someone you may never heard of: J. Dilla. He's revered by rappers and producers from Kanye to Kendrick Lamar, and he worked with the likes of Michael and Janet Jackson--but Dilla himself never rose to mainstream fame, despite revolutionizing the way music sounds before his untimely death at the age of 32. . In Dilla Time, Dan Charnas chronicles the life of J. Dilla, from his gifted childhood in Detroit, to the rare medical condition that caused his tragically premature death.

With the help of analysis by musicologist Jeff Peretz, Charnas teaches us to
