Questlove Producing Documentary On J Dilla
Questlove will executive produce a documentary about legendary producer J Dilla, called “Dilla Time.” The documentary is based on Dan Charnas’ book, “Dilla Time: The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla, The Hip Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm.” Questlove will collaborate with Joseph Patel, who worked with him on the Oscar-winning Summer of Soul. “Explaining musical genius is my mission,” Questlove said in a statement. “To be able to tell the world about the musician that had the most influence on me is a dream come true. Not just on me, but on an entire generation of musicians that everyone knows and loves. J Dilla was our teacher. And what he taught us was how to feel rhythm in a way we had never felt before. I’m so honored to be a part of bringing this story to the world through this documentary.” J. Dilla’s estate endorses the documentary.
