DSE @ Grand Presents The Re: Dilla Project
(Source: James from DSE Grand) - With that being said, I would like to announce the formation of an upcoming concept called, The Re: Dilla Project.? For those who know about the store, one of the first designs I made was inspired by the late Hip-Hop legend James "J Dillla" Yancey.? With the design, I was determined for people to visually see the contribution Dilla has made to the music world in his short time, so after coming up with some ideas, talking with one of my associates, and listening to Dilla's The Shining, I designed a silhouette of Dilla's profile made up with his production credits spanning from 1993 to beyond, and ended it with the words "Nuff Said" cause after looking at the work Dilla contributed in that period, theres nothing more you can say.? The shirt has ended up being an underground hit, including finding fans outside of Michigan and the United Sates.? So it was only right that I did something to improve what I started, which leads to The Re: Dilla Project.
The Re: Dilla Project consists of an revamped edition to the original "Nuff Said" design that includes the face of Dilla within the production credits.? The design will not only be available on a limited-run of silk screen printed tees, there will also be limited edition photo prints of the design, including one which will be signed by different artists who have worked with Dilla over the years including: Slum Village, Common, The Roots, Q-Tip, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes and many more.? This print will be auctioned off with all the proceeds going towards the Maureen Yancey Medical Fund, which will help towards the medical bills for the mother of J Dilla, who at this time, suffers from Lupus, the same disease that caused Dilla's passing.
The limited-run Re:Dill (Nuff Said) tee will be available September 30th, 2008 only at DSE @ Grand located at 202 E. Grand River off Broadway in Downtown Detroit, as well as online at www.dsedetroit.com.? Only 40 tees will be printed, and does promise to sell quick, so don't sleep on this one.? Once they're sold out, it wont be printed again!!
The limited edition photo print of the J Dilla "Nuff Said" design will also be available September 30th 2008, at DSE @ Grand and online.? Only 25 prints (not including the one being auctioned) will be made on 16X20 matte photo paper.? This will be a must have for any collector whether it be music or art.? As for the one print which will be set aside for auctioning, you can check on the progress of the collection of signatures by going to the DSE blog at dseatgrand.blogspot.com as well as updates on when the auction will take place.
Part of the proceeds from both the silk screen tee and photo print will go towards the?Maureen Yancey Medical Fund.
