James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974–February 10, 2006), better known as J Dilla or Jay Dee, was an American hip hop producer and MC, who emerged from the mid-1990s underground hip-hop scene in Detroit, Michigan. He began his career as "Jay Dee" but used the name "J Dilla" from 2001 on. Many critics believe J Dilla's work to have had a major influence on his peers,[1] and that he embodied the neo soul sound, playing a defining yet understated role during the sub-genre's rise (roughly from the mid-90s to the early 2000s). J Dilla was known as a "producer's producer", and was highly regarded by mainstream artists and producers such as Common, Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Pharrell Williams
J Dilla died on February 10, 2006, at his home in Los Angeles, California. His obituary in The New York Times on February 14, 2006, states: "The cause was cardiac arrest, according to his mother, Maureen Yancey." His last album, Donuts was released 3 days earlier, on February 7, 2006.

When you think your road is rocky and a bit too steep to climb,
When you think your guardian angel needs to work some overtime,
When your personal jigsaw puzzle has some pieces that won't fit,
When life has no rhyme or reason and you can't make sense of it,
YOU NEED A RAINBOW When the clouds are dark and stormy
And have blocked the sunshine out, And perhaps you start to wonder
What this life is all about, When your trials and tribulations seem to be so hard to bear,
And it seems there is no justice anytime or anywhere, LOOK FOR YOUR RAINBOW
When the molehills seem like mountains and the obstacles are great,
When you feel so heavy laden and your worries just inflate,
When you can't see any ending to the problems that you face,
For they just keep on increasing and you need some breathing space,
PRAY FOR YOUR RAINBOW It may be you need to look a little higher than before,
Or perhaps a little further to see past the clouds once more.
But you'll know it's worth the effort when your rainbow you can see,
And you understand the love behind God's creativity,
SEARCH FOR YOUR RAINBOW
For your rainbow holds a promise that this turbulence will cease,
And your inner conflict will become, instead, deep inner peace.
But if, though searching, you can't find your rainbow at this time,
Until you can, I say with love, you're welcome to share mine!

May the angels keep you till morning.
May they guide you through the night.
May they comfort all your sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.
May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you're sleeping.
May they see you through your days.
May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.
May the angels keep you till morning.
More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you,
Then may God be there that day.
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO
WHEN I COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD
AND THE SUN HAS SET FOR ME
I WANT NO SADNESS IN A GLOOMY ROOM
WHY CRY FOR A SOUL SET FREE?
MISS ME A LITTLE BIT BUT NOT TOO LONG
AND NOT WITH YOUR HEAD BOWED LOW
REMEMBER THE LOVE THAT WE ONCE SHARED
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO.
FOR THIS A JOURNEY THAT WE ALL MUST TAKE
AND EACH MUST GO ALONE
ITS ALL A PART OF LIFES PATH
A STEP ON THE ROAD TO HOME.
WHEN YOU ARE LONELY AND SICK AT HEART
GO TO THE FRIENDS WE KNOW
AND BURY YOUR SORROW IN DOING GOOD DEEDS
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO.
GODBLESS YOU NOW AND ALWAYS JAMES,LOVE TO YOUR LOVED ONES TOO LOVE JOANNE.XXXX
