Ma Dukes
If you were in the LA area tonight, you may have had the lucky chance to catch the “A Suite for Ma Dukes” show. This show, composed by Carlos Niño + Miguel Atwood-Ferguson features a 40-Piece Orchestra, performing 4 renditions of classic JDilla beats. If you were not lucky enough to attend, such as myself, then you can download the whole orchestral work on iTunes now! Listening to this will make you wanna break out your classic Slum Village/Tribe Called Quest/J Dilla albums, but this body of work is on a different level. Great stuff. Oh, and proceeds from the sale of this go to Dilla's mom, "Ma Dukes", who is currently fighting off her own bout of Lupus. Support.
