On Feb. 7, what would have been J Dilla’s 50th birthday, the Pistons’ vision came to life when announcing the Dilla-inspired merchandise collection paying homage to the late Slum Village production member. “Educating NBA fans around the world about his lasting impact on the global music [scene] and his deep pride for Detroit was also important to us,” Pistons VP of Brand & Marketing Bilal Saeed tells Billboard.
