US hip-hop producer dies aged 32 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4706602.stm) <---link here

Hip-hop producer J Dilla, who worked with artists including A Tribe Called Quest and Busta Rhymes, has died aged 32 from the immune disease lupus.
The Detroit artist, real name James Yancey and also known as Jay Dee, was a member of rap trio Slum Village.

Rolling Stone magazine recently called him "a top-ranked architect of soulful hip-hop" and "one of the nicest, and most unique, producers in the game".

A solo album, Donuts, partly recorded in hospital, was released on Tuesday.
