    Born and raised in Detroit MI, Joylette Hunter has always been attuned to the needs and challenges of the urban community, and the issues that faced social classes within the city. A product of the Detroit public school system, Joylette attended Northwestern High School and participated in several community youth programs. After graduating, she began to work in the nonprofit sector for organizations such as City of Detroit Youth Department; Safe Center, a nonprofit whose mission was to help the under privileged residents of Detroit; and the Detroit Association Of Black Organizations, a nonprofit that empowered, equipped, and served, other local organizations. Along with doing work for nonprofits, Joylette always remained a dedicated youth advocate. She spent her free time running latchkey and tutorial programs for local children and also worked in a day care. Joylette met her life partner James "J Dilla" Yancey at an early age and the two quickly became inseparable. While sharing a home with Yancey, Joylette had the privilege and duty of hosting some of Hip Hop and R&B's biggest stars at Yancey's famous home studio. Q-Tip, Dwele, Busta, Common, Slum Village, ?uestlove, Guru, and Mos Def, were among some that graced her home. Although her living room became a literal who's who in music, Joylette always remained focused on her nonprofit work and involvement in community programs. She went on to continue her college education at Wayne State University and later at University of Phoenix. In October of 2001 Joylette and James' daughter Ja'Mya Yancey was born and Joylette dedicated her life to her most important role, being a mother.

  • Bio Akua Naru
    BIO AKUA NARU Hailing from New Haven, Connecticut (USA), Akua Naru’s journey to global poet began in an early upbringing in the Pentecostal church. The oldest of three, Naru began attending church with her grandmother as an infant. Steeped in gospel music, it was there that a young Naru was introduced to a world of black female leaders, from pastor to choir director, who were steeped in African American musical and oratorical traditions. Encouragement from her family to recite scriptures before the church congregation during holidays quickly, however, soon took an unexpected direction when an Uncle, just 3 years her senior, began sneaking hip hop records into the house in defiance of the family ban on secular music. Already enamored with literature and poetry Naru found in hip hop a power to describe her experiences with unmatched eloquence, so much so that she and her Uncle immediately began performing as a duo at backyard parties around the neighborhood. Her Uncle, an aspiring producer, would supply the beats for a then 9 year old Akua Naru on the microphone. Honing her writing in her teenage years combined with an expanding political education, Naru began participating in youth programs that raised awareness around pressing community issues. There, she engaged in passionate discussions with other young moderated by seasoned activists who had taken part in the civil rights and black power movements, sparking her enduring interest in revolutionary thought. In her late teens she began studying the works of cultural theorists and political activists like Frantz Fanon, Angela Davis, Malcolm X and Assata Shakur.

    SLUM VILLAGE • THE FAN-TAS-TIC CD SET This Extensive Collection From The Group’s Dilla-helmed Era Is A Comprehensive Overview Of Fan-Tas-Tic V.1 and V.2. The contributions of the late Detroit producer James DeWitt Yancey -better known to the world as J Dilla- to the world of hip-hop can't be overstated, and nowhere is his legacy more apparent than his work as a member of Slum Village. A founding member of the trio, (Alongside rappers T3 and Baatin) Dilla provided the group's distinctly esoteric, free-wheeling sound, built around winding basslines, quirky drumbeats, subtle low-end frequencies, and classic jazz & soul samples. Against the backdrop of Dilla's rich production, T3 and Baatin's free-flowing style of rhyming would also earn wide critical praise, leading to comparisons as the successors to A Tribe Called Quest. (A label they themselves have rejected.) Dilla himself went on to earn his own legend of brilliance, inspiring a slew of classic artists like Nas and The Pharcyde, to newcomers like Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar. It would be a gratuitous task to encapsulate the full magnificence of the material Dilla produced with Slum Village, but Ne'Astra Media Group have accomplished such a feat, with the arrival of the Fan-Tas-Tic Collection! A comprehensive overview of the underground group's Dilla-produced tracks across four compact discs. The CD includes the entirety of the namesake albums Fan-Tas-Tic Volumes 1 & 2, instrumental versions, and a bonus fourth collection of remixes and obscurities, featuring collaborations with Madlib & Pete Rock, and select cuts from Best Kept Secret, the group's rare release under the name J-88.

From The Ground Up: Cultural and Musical Implications of Live­Instrumental Hip­Hop A thesis submitted by Jonah Ullman In fulfillment of the requirements for College Honors UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT College of Arts and Sciences May, 2016 ADVISER: Alex Stewart ii ABSTRACT Traditional live instruments have played an important role in hip­hop production in various capacities since the earliest stages of the genre’s development. The dominant historical narrative often omits the frequency with which live instruments have been used in hip­hop. The authenticity of their use has been a point of contention in the discourse of hip­hop producers, consumers, critics and scholars. When used in accordance with hip­hop’s aesthetic sensibilities, however, they become a vehicle for innovative and authentic hip­hop. Tasteful use of live instruments opens up a range of possibilities in the realms of arrangement techniques and compositional freedom.

  • Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Tiffany Naiman 2017 © Copyright by Tiffany Naiman 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music by Tiffany Naiman Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robert W. Fink, Co-Chair Professor Raymond L. Knapp, Co-Chair This dissertation investigates musical expressions of temporal alterities in works created by popular music artists, identifying their aesthetic responses as their bodies become ill, disabled, and they become more aware of mortality. I propose a critical, hermeneutic, and theoretical method drawn from Edward Said’s appropriation of Adorno’s expression “late style” that I have designated ill style, a form of creativity within a temporality of illness. Late style is discernable in works produced, paradigmatically, at the end of one’s career in “old age,” but late style may also be understood as an influence on artistic output at any stage of life if the subject is experiencing untimeliness and a disruption in access to the communal understanding of futurity and time, a possible consequence of factors other than age. I contend that late style, accelerated by illness, disrupts Western cultural attempts at ignoring precarious and finite nature of existence; the resulting expressions of lateness ask audiences to do the same. I offer a way in which to think more critically about what scholars consider late style, how it functions in popular ii music studies and society, and how it intersects with the fields of disability, gender, queer, and critical race studies, and the social sciences.

  • BLACK MILK BIO with More Than a Decade and a Half of Industry
    BLACK MILK BIO With more than a decade and a half of industry experience and a rich catalog of recordings, Black Milk has successfully transitioned from one of hip-hop’s young sensations to a trusted virtuoso with a uniquely well-rounded pedigree as a producer, rapper, and performer. Black Milk’s DiVE EP (2019) is a continuation of 2018’s powerful and politically- charged album FEVER. It finds him taking a survey from the ledge, preparing to plunge into a sea of change. “DiVE represents me looking ahead at 2020,” Black shares. “Stepping into this new decade, I want to have a mentality of progression. Once 2020 clicks in, I want to leave a lot of my old ways, traditions, and mentalities behind.” Listeners of FEVER may have sensed this energy with the self-awakening “unVEil,” the pivotal “eVE,” and the EP’s transitional genesis, “DiVE.” Across 11 new songs, Black Milk lights a path for where he plans to venture with his art. “I’m always going to have my standard and aesthetic. That’s why I’m not really afraid to step outside of any box because my taste will always keep me grounded,” he says. Single “Black NASA,” featuring Sam Austins, focuses on those who must fuel their own journey to become stars. “It represents a place where I—and many people of color are from. We have to make something out of nothing, as opposed to people who are handed the tools for success.” Without compromising substance, the song’s polished sound piques an array of playlists.
