What’s the hype about Two Point Owe’s Don’t Be Afraid – Dilla Tribute?

J.Dilla was a prolific Detroit underground hip-hop producer and rapper, known to the general masses as 1/3 of the soulful hip-hop group Slum Village.  Dilla grew up in a family of musicians with his parents performing as an Jazz group. He was bound to be connected with music in a special way…the harmonies he grew up to, influenced his experimentation with drums, various instrumentations which saw him develop a warm and fuzzy hip-hop sound.

He went on to produce  A Tribe Called Quest’s Grammy award nominated album Beats, Rhymes and Life  and over his career and to his untimely death, this highly gifted musician grew an almost cult like following from avid hip-hop lovers…Globally.

As  we come to the end of #DillaMonth we open heartedly and with ease celebrate one of his biggest fans who could be said to have inherited Dilla’s musical genius and spirit.

I’m talking about South African born and Stuttgart based Two Point Owe, a prolific producer with a career that spans from working with the likes of a beat crazy duo called Jungle also working with some of of a legendary Cape Town Rap Group called ETC Crew .

In this track he decided to pay another tribute to his idol by creating a song out of his favourite Dilla joints,  from the drums, stabs, effects and even raps. Check out and download (free) his “Don’t Be Afraid – Dilla Tribute”
