Just a quick note to say that the walk for lupus with the J Dilla Project this past saturday turned out to be a success. I surpassed my goal, so a large thank you is due for all the people that contributed,especially to my family (and Free Speech, I see you too!!). As a team, we also surpassed our goal by at least $300!
I had a good time, just walking and talking about music with my peers (especially about the ups and downs of being a DJ with DJ Gonzo). All in all, I kind of wish the walk would have been a little bit longer than it was.
Dilla’s Uncle, Herman, was there for the walk as well. He travels all over spreading Dilla’s name and is on a personal mission to show people that there is positivity left in hip-hop culture. He’s a really good person to walk and talk with.
Here’s a few pics from the walk:
