During the making of Jaylib, Jay and Lib worked separately in Detroit and Los Angeles, and the photos were taken separately as well. Coleman and B+ @bpleasel flew to Dilla’s place Clinton Township north of Detroit, photographing him in his basement studio, outside the house, and at Car City Records in Saint Clair Shores.

J Dilla on the cover of Detroit Metro Times, Oct. 2-8, 1996. Photo by Bruce Giffin.
From the cover story:
It’s time to give propers to James “Jay Dee” Yancey, a guy who says he “buried himself in his house with a drum machine and a keyboard and didn’t come out till I mastered them.”
He deserves them not because he has time on his hands and music on his mind, but because he emerged a platinum hip-hop producer who volleys between national and local hero status as Detroit’s most prolific beat maker.
It’s a Cinderella story for music that doesn’t believe in fairy tales.
With a tape of tracks he self-produced, Jay Dee approached Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest at Lollapalooza in 1993. Now he’s Tribe’s chief sound sculptor. His most recent national effort, remixing Busta Rhymes’ “Woo Hah” occasioned an article in last spring’s Vibe magazine and earned him his first platinum record.
Platinum doesn’t come easy to anyone, and Jay Dee credits Detroit’s flourishing, yet virtually underground, hip-hop scene for buoying his success. And that is the real story- Detroit’s hip-hop sound.
“Everywhere I go, people ask me about what’s going on in Detroit. People are real interested, because they know it’s so different here,” says Jay Dee.
Soft-spoken, articulate and unassuming, his low profile and high-visibility credits typify a scene that has been so prolific yet has remained underground, gaining a true rep on the national hip-hop scene before reaching a local audience of any consequence.
- from “Dial 313 for the 411 on Hip-Hop” by Hobey Echlin. Detroit Metro Times, Oct 2-8, 1996.
