The musical genius that was J Dilla, Jay Dee, or Dilla as I call him, was born James Dewitt Yancey this day in 1974. His gift is unmatched, and the music world still feels the lost of this great, who passed away February 10th, 2006 with complications from Lupus
Here's to you Dilla, the gifts you left are jewels, and everytime I hear them, I'm amazed and captured all over again. Happy Birthday Sir. Now mix, with the heavenly choir.

Black IS Beautiful | Langston Hughes

Happy Birthday Mr. Hughes!
Langston Hughes, African American poet and playwright, was born on this day, February 1, in 1902.
Thank you! and Yes, Black IS Beautiful.


The night is beautiful,

So the faces of my people.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people
— Langston Hughes (My People)
