Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on February 07, 1974)

Happy birthday to the legendary J Dilla! Your beats have been smoother than butter, funkier than grandma's dance moves, and more timeless than vinyl itself. From shaping Detroit’s underground hip-hop scene in the '90s to blessing tracks for A Tribe Called Quest and Erykah Badu—your music continues to inspire generations.

Even today, your influence echoes louder than a bassline at midnight. Every beatmaker dreams of capturing that signature "Dilla swing," but let's face it: there's only one original donut king. Here's hoping you're spinning records up there with style; keep dropping heavenly beats—we'll always be nodding our heads down here!
