Bmore Dilla Tribute x Fundraiser Video 2012
The annual J. Dilla tributes are something that I personally look forward to. I don’t know if hip hop can be defined in greater terms than it is with the world wide out pouring of love for the memory of James “J.Dilla” Yancey, his music and truthfully, the love of hip hop culture. This was my second year attending a J. Dilla tribute and my third event. The D.C., Maryland and Virginia metro area has always done an excellent job with this event. I have had pleasure of covering this event in Baltimore and D.C. This J.Dilla event definitely connects the region as DJ’s and performers make the 45 minute or so drive back n forth to be present at both the Baltimore and D.C. event, local talent is highlighted at each and this year is no exception as I attended the Bmore Dilla “Forever Shining”. If you all allow me to stand up on my soap box for a minute(thanks):
Baltimore is not known for its nationally or internationally recognized artists, DJ’s etc. Although hip hop thrives in Charm City, if house music is the artery and veins of the youth culture in the city, then hip hop is its heart. The Baltimore hip hop community in conjunction with D.C. and nationally known artist(Guilty Simpson) came together and put on a good show.
I hope you all enjoy the footage that I put together of the show, as I like to do, I want you all to have the same feeling I had and view the concert as best you can. Thanks to everyone involved with this event…so here it is, Creative Beach presents Bmore Dilla Tribute/Fundraiser 2012.
