The sparkling snow continues to fall today. This has been The Best Winter- EVER!  Ice skating, sledding, and snowball fights have all surfaced this year.

This past weekend, we attended a private gathering at Dame Dash's [not yet unveiled] gallery: DD172. Artist Vanessa Chakour presented 'Ma Dukes' Yancey with a portrait of her late son, J Dilla. 

Check out the recently launched J Dilla Foundation website for more information about the Foundation itself and to see how they are keeping alive both the legacy and dreams of J Dilla.
