J Dilla Foundation, Lupus and the Future of Music: How Unity Is Connecting Crypto Technology with Philanthropy
In this episode, Daniel Leinhardt explores the legacy of legendary Detroit hip-hop producer J Dilla, his connection to lupus, and how the James Dewitt Yancey Foundation could benefit from emerging digital technologies.
