iTunes: Yes Yes – Single – Slum Village

Slum Village’s new Jay Dee produced single, “Yes Yes,” was premiered over a week ago by Noisey and has since amassed nearly 100K plays on Soundcloud. “Yes Yes” was released to pay tribute too the worldwide celebration of Dilla’s birthday and ‘Dilla Day Detroit 2014’ which took place in Detroit on February 7th, 2014 and featured live performances from a host of internationally acclaimed artists including DJ Premier, Pete Rock, De La Soul, Slum Village, Phife Dawg and Guilty Simpson.

James ‘J Dilla’ Yancey succumbed to Lupus in 2006 at the age of 32. His short, but prolific and highly-influential career still resounds today. From his work on chart topping singles for Common, The Roots, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, Janet Jackson, etc., to his own genre redefining solo releases, J Dilla’s work as a true innovator continues to inspire nearly eight-years after his death.

Today, Slum Village and Yancey Media Group in conjunction with J Dilla’s family has announced that “Yes Yes” is now available on iTunes and all of the proceeds from the track will go directly to Dilla’s children. In a personal statement, Joylette (the mother of Dilla’s youngest daughter Ja’ May Yancey) states “I would like to thank everyone for the love and support and Slum Village and Yancey Media Group for donating the proceeds from this single to Dilla’s daughters.”
