The album, which he literally completed from his hospital bed, has become one of hip-hop's seminal works of production and offered a stirring capstone for an already legendary career. Dilla's death sent reverberations through the worlds of hip-hop and production alike.Just hours after hearing the news, Flying Lotus jumped into the studio and laid an emotional live mix in the legendary producer's honor. The session has recently resurfaced, thanks to a repost from Dublab.
