J Dilla’s mother, Mrs. Maureen “MaDukes” Yancey released the following statement in regards to the project saying:
This will bring together artists that have drifted away from one another and haven’t been able to work with each other lately. It’s a healing process for the city. For individuals, it’s going to bring back the love and the passion for the music and for what hip-hop has to offer.
