J Dilla - born James DeWitt Yancey (1974-2006) was a groundbreaking Detroit producer, rapper and DJ whose innovative use of rhythm and melody in sampling reshaped modern music.

His signature style, now colloquially referred to as “Dilla Time,” as discussed in the New York Times bestselling book of the same name, evolved in solo albums, collaborations with Slum Village, Common, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, Madlib and many more. His final album, Donuts, released on his 32nd birthday in 2006, remains a landmark, influencing artists across genres.

Pay Jay Productions, Inc. was founded in 2001 by J Dilla to own and manage his intellectual property including uses of his name, image, likeness, life story, brand, and music rights, and continues to do these things as part of his Estate.

The Estate of James Yancey honors J Dilla’s last will and testament by managing his legacy, property, and business for the benefit of his two daughters Ja’Mya Yancey and TyMonae Whitlow, brother John Yancey, and mother Maureen Yancey.
