The music world lost legendary hip hop producer and artist J Dilla far too soon, and for many people, he's still relatively unknown. Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot talk with author Dan Charnas about his book on J Dilla's rhythmic innovation, artistry and close relationships with Common, Questlove, D'Angelo and more. Plus, the hosts review new albums from Nick Cave and Hinds.
