Awards: "Grammys? What Grammys? On Saturday night, February 10, the 2007
PLUG Awards were announced at a star-studded event at Irving Plaza in
New York City. J Dilla was named Artist of the Year and Record Producer
of the Year." "Musician and producer James Yancey, better known as J Dilla and
Jay Dee, was honored as artist of the year, with his mother and hip-hop
superstars like Common and Pharrell contributing thoughts in a video montage." Jay Dee/J Dilla, the acclaimed hip-hop producer who died last February
due to complications from lupus, nabbed the artist of the year award,
as well as record producer of the year. Dilla released the album Donuts
just prior to his death, and the posthumous The Shining hit stores several
months later. Thank you to everyone who voted for J Dilla |
