Last Friday (Feb. 10th), a crop of Michigan rappers joined forces at the Fillmore Detroit for Dilla Day Detroit, a concert that paid tribute to the late J Dilla.
During the event, Slum Village, Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson, Chuck Inglish, Amp Fiddler, Fat Ray, Asher Roth and Danny Brown graced the stage, paying respect to the producer. Though Jay Electronica and Busta Rhymes were originally scheduled to appear, they did not make the concert.
“This night has been incredible – it means so much,” said Ma Dukes. “Hip-hop is a thriving culture and for too long people in Michigan weren’t noticing. We have everything right here and that’s what we’re gonna do with YMG and the foundation.”

It was a great show! Danny Brown tore it the Fluck down!! Guilty Simpson did his thing too.
Jay who? Busta what?
Slum Village and guilty rocked thats shit detroit stand up
Great vids. Weak that Busta and Jay Elec couldn’t make it. Especially Busta, I mean him and Jay was tight.
Ash Roth
Just wanna say it was WACK of Asher Roth to freestyle over that beat. ONLY BECAUSE Guilty Simpson went on right after and Killed the same beat, but it was actually his song u know??? from Dilla’s Shining Album!???!!!!
