Long before the wider world caught on, the UK had already formed a deep connection with J Dilla. In this documentary, CassKidd explores how Britain recognised Dilla鈥檚 genius early, how key UK artists and tastemakers championed his work, and how Dilla absorbed UK music in return. Featuring voices including Dan Charnas, Phat Kat, Jamz Supernova, Yemi Abiade, Pete Tong, Slowe, Lord Apex and Benji B, the programme traces why Dilla鈥檚 feel still runs through UK rap, soul, jazz and club culture today. It鈥檚 a story of mutual influence and a legacy that continues to shape British music. Produced by The Resonate Agency for 麻豆社 Radio 1Xtra.
