Erykah Badu The Roots J Dilla Contest
Erykah Badu The Roots J Dilla Contest

Win a Pair of Tickets to See The Roots present J Dilla ft. Erykah Badu live in L.A.!

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

West Coast fans of one and only J Dilla will get a very, very special treat indeed when The Roots and Erykah Badu join forces for a set entirely based upon the work of the late, great(est of all time) producer. The show is taking place at Los Angeles's Club Nokia, and it all kicks off this Saturday, June 27th, at 10 p.m.

It's common knowledge just how instrumental J Dilla was in the career paths of both Badu and The Roots, and so this tribute show is sure to be an emotional, musically raw and riotous celebration of his work and its undying, infections grooves, made all the better by the artists' recent collaborations. It was only a month ago that Badu took the stage with The Roots at our annual Philly-based mega-soireé The Roots Picnic, performing numerous songs that were touched by the hands of Dilla. Want proof? Check Okayplayer's just-published 16 minute concert film of "Love of My Life" and prepare to be amazed.
