J Dilla’s life and legacy will be covered extensively with the premiere of The Legacy Of J Dilla on FX.

Premiering on April 7, The New York Times-presented film is “an intimate portrait” of the legendary producer who passed away in 2006. The Detroit producer’s family will appear in the documentary which covers his ascension to prominence and the difficulties in preserving his legacy since his death.

“I’m a Detroiter and I’m a fighter,” his mother Maureen Yancey told TV Insider. “I will stay in there and I will fight. I won’t let anybody put my son down, what I do for him down, because I’m here to lift up his music, his legacy.”
