BOYS S/M/L/XL/XXL A tribute to Jay Dee aka J Dilla James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006), better known by the stage names J Dilla and Jay Dee, was an American record producer who emerged from the mid-1990s underground hip hop scene in Detroit, Michigan. According to his obituary at NPR.org, he "was one of the music industry's most influential hip-hop artists, working for big-name acts like De La Soul, Busta Rhymes and Common. Yancey's career began slowly. He has now become highly regarded, most notably for the production of critically acclaimed albums by Common, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, and Erykah Badu. He was a member of Slum Village and produced their acclaimed debut album Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1) and their follow-up Fantastic, Vol. 2. In the early 2000, Yancey's career as a solo artist began to improve; A solo album Welcome 2 Detroit was followed by a collaborative album with California producer Madlib, Champion Sound, which catalyzed the careers of both artists. Just as his music was becoming increasingly popular, Yancey died in 2006 of the blood disease TTP. Following J Dilla's death, the hip hop community became centered upon his music and image. Many of the artists with whom Yancey worked performed or recorded tributes, and a large group of followers voiced their support for the late musician. Yancey's music experienced a rebirth as the producer gained many times more listeners than he had during his life, partly due to media exposure. Though several posthumous albums have been released and others are planned, the massive amounts of unreleased recordings by the producer remain somewhat undetermined. Yancey's estate has also been controverted.
You may have a thousand reasons to start a Skateboard Fair and none to not start it. We awaited somebody to make the first step, until we realized that this would never happen, at least in the way we had in mind.
We wrote this text six months ago without knowing what we were going to face in organizing a skateboard tradeshow, but we were right: the event was cool, skaters had a lot of fun, the retailers came, the exhibitors had some business, we ran out of wine and salami... largely exceeding our expectations.
So we did not stop there, we kept on working, traveling, dreaming, designing, contracting and producing.
For this winter session, we've decided to move indoor, from Bergamo to Milano at the Lambretto Art Project and to have The Last Call lasting three days instead of one.
The first day, Saturday, will be dedicated mostly to introducing the event and the day’s schedule will be much devoted to skating: we’ll have exhibitions, presentations, free skating and other surprises. Sunday and Monday will see the brands exhibition and various non-scheduled fun contests. SCHEDULE
Saturday, February the 12th Ore 17:00 → 00:00 Intro, presentation, free skate, party Sunday, February the 13th Ore 10:00 → 19:00 Exhibition and showroom Monday, February the 14th Ore 10:00 → 17:00 Exhibition and showroom
