Sweatshirt – An Afternoon of Dilla

Description

A homage to the legendary Hip Hop producer J Dilla (aka Jay Dee). Created for the An Afternoon Of Dilla events in Bristol and London for 2025 and organised by Bristol based producer Vice Beats. The design is layered and complex, much like Jay Dee’s music. The background text features the names of Dilla’s tracks, including production and remixes. The smaller, darker layers of text feature his collaborators, including early career artists.

The sweatshirts, T-shirts and art prints, as with the events, are an official collaboration with Ma Dukes (Maureen Yancey) Jay Dee’s mum, who developed the James Dewitt Yancey Foundation. Each item sold donates profit to the foundation to further support their work.
