Fighting School Closures and Part Two of Dan Charnas on J Dilla

We talk to Oakland teachers who are on a hunger strike trying to stop school closures in Oakland. And part two of our conversation with author Dan Charnas about his latest book ‘Dilla Time’ about JAMES DEWITT YANCEY (1974-2006), known professionally as Jay Dee or J Dilla, one of the most influential music producers  of our era. We play the music, layout the stories, and celebrate one of the dopest and most transformative producers to touch the boards.
