BBC Radio’s 1 Xtra program did a documentary on Dilla that features tracks he produced for Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, The Pharcyde and De La Soul. Through interviews with Plug 2 from De La Soul, Mos Def, Questlove from The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, J.Rocc, Slum Village members T3 and Wajeed, his brother Illa J and his incredible mum, Ma Dukes, we learn about how he made those beats, what he was like as a person and the legacy he left behind. Benji also pays his own tribute to the man he knew for almost ten years and is his favourite producer of all time. I had the opportunity to interview one of the producers of the documentary.

28: The Library: Interview with Devon Glover, The Sonnet Man Jun 07, 2012

Show notes

William Shakespeare is considered the world's greatest writer, but for many his Elizabethan English is challenging. The Sonnet Man, conceived and produced by Broadway playwright Arje Shaw sets Shakespeare's sonnets to Hip Hop blending classical literature with an urban beat, hearing Shakespeare as never before, and opening it up to young people in a genre they know and love. I interviewed the star of this production rap artist Devon Glover.

25: The Library: Interview with Blueprint May 23, 2012

Show notes

According to Blueprint's website "After a five-year musical journey, critically acclaimed mc/producer and Soul Position frontman Blueprint, returned in 2011 with his highly-anticipated sophomore solo album Adventures in Counter-Culture. While praised by critics and considered his finest release to date, the story behind Blueprint’s musical departure went largely untold until now. The Making of Adventures in Counter-Culture sees Blueprint emerge as an author, vividly recounting the stories that inspired him to create such a unique piece of art. His writing leaves nothing unanswered – taking the reader through the creative process behind every song on the album – and describing in rich detail the circumstances that lead to his social commentary, personal transformation, and genre-defying album, Adventures in Counter-Culture.

Blueprint also enlisted the talents of acclaimed artist Adam “ILLUS” Wallenta to provide beautiful illustrations for each chapter of the book, making The Making of Adventures in Counter Culture a necessary companion-piece for fans of the album."

Here is my interview with Blueprint as aired on AND YOU DON'T STOP with Chuck D.
