2016 has been a spectacular year for the Yancey family! We would like to give a special thanks to Mrs. Maureen Yancey-Smith, Ms. Timothy Anne Burnside and the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture for making this happen! This is not only a significant milestone for Jay Dee/J Dilla but also for the culture of Hip Hop! It has been years in the making..and there is not enough space in this thread to explain how it all came about... Without this extraordinary woman's perserverance, donations or her giving birth to one of music's greatest influential artist/producers, none of this would be possible! We Salute You All and We Thank You! โค๐๐ For those who supported we know who you are.. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Your contributions will forever preserve the legacy of James Dewitt Yancey for future generations to come! Continue to hold the torch High and Proud!๐ฅ We โค You Madukes & We miss you Jay Dee! (RIP) #JayDee#JDilla#JamesDewittYancey#OfficialMadukes#JDillaMerch...
