Some peeps in San Diego are hosting a "DILLATHON"

Loyal fans and avid listeners of J Dilla will be pleased to hear the legacy of the recently passed super producer living on through Rob Grimes' in the worldwide release of "Dillathon" Today. -- just weeks after Dilla's birthday.

On Feb. 10, 2006 the very talented Dilla was taken from us after a tumultuous battle with lupus and an incurable blood disease. Often referred to as "your favorite producer's favorite producer," Dilla became renowned and loved for his beats and creative vision that became critical to the success of such artists as Madlib, Slum Village and Common, among many others.

"The mixtape is a showcase and a tribute," says Rob Grimes. "It's me going in and killing all my favorite Dilla beats."

gracing "Dillathon" is Brooklyn emcee Talib Kweli amongst others.
