RZA REVISITS SOME OF J DILLA'S BEST WU-TANG CLAN COLLABS ON LATE PRODUCER'S 50TH BIRTHDAY

RZA couldn’t let J Dilla‘s birthday pass by unnoticed, especially since the duo have a short but impactful history together.

On Wednesday (February 7), which would have been the late producer’s 50th birthday, RZA hopped on his Wu Wednesday show on SiriusXM radio to pay tribute to the Detroit native, who passed away in 2006.

Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah played two songs that Dilla produced for Raekwon‘s 2009 LP Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II and reminisced about their creation. He recalled that Busta Rhymes was the bridge between Dilla and the Wu-Tang Clan.
