Havana has 2 upcoming performances you won’t want to miss. She will be performing in promotion of her 2nd album, “Entervention”, which was expected to drop earlier this year but has been pushed back to a late summer release. The album which features production by upcoming producers like The Honor Roll (Trackademicks, 1.0.a.k), Brook D’Leau (J*Davey), GB (Sound in Color) and Waajeed (PPP), celebrates the coming to grips of Havana’s tumultuous upbringing, using music to express her experiences and family issues, but never forgetting to have fun along the way.

R.I.P. J. Dilla
February 11, 2009
It’s been 3 years since James Yancey aka Jay Dee “Dilla” passed away from lupus. Dilla was and will forever be looked upon as the illest, most creative producer of our time. I remember when I first met Dilla outside of Maurice Malone’s shop in Detroit back in 94/95′ and again in 2000 when I got invited to the Slum Village – Raise It Up video shoot at Universal Studios in LA. We smoked one on the set and even though Dilla was getting his Hollywood on, you could just tell how genuine he was. His music plays a important part in my life as well as others worldwide. Wherever you are make sure you find a Dilla event to attend in your area this month and donate to MaDukes to assist with her lupus struggles and the unfinished business of the Dilla estate.
J. Dilla, The Greatest of All Time
Dilla Forever!
