About "DillaTUDE: The Flight Of Titus" by The Roots
The Roots' 'DillaTUDE' is a tribute to the late J Dilla, a flight of soulful hip-hop. The title suggests a spirit ascending—Titus, perhaps, as a winged messenger. The beat shimmers with off-kilter drums and warm keys, creating a bittersweet tension: celebration and mourning in one groove.
