J Dilla
The Legend
Role Model
My role model is J dilla. The reason I chose this musical producer is because he is not only an inspiration to me but to many rappers and producers. Such as, Pete Rock, Madlib, Drake, J Cole, Mac Miller, and many more. J Dilla is more of a legendary hip hop producer than a role model.
