On Wednesday (4/5), FX Networks released the first trailer for The Legacy of J Dilla.
The 42 second trailer features DJ Jazzy Jeff and Dilla's mother, Ma Dukes speaking about Dilla turning "sample grabbing" into an art form and how he kept his illness private. The documentary, presented by The New York Times, is described as “an intimate portrait” of the acclaimed producer, who passed away in 2006. The documentary chronicles his rise to fame, and the subsequent control over his legacy, and features exclusive access to Dilla's family. The Legacy of J Dilla will air simultaneously on Hulu and FX on April 7.
