The Good Music Show
Welcome to the Good Music Show with Danny and Julius! Each episode they will give each other an album or playlist based around a theme, then talk about the music and artists that make it. They'll cover a wide spread of artists that they care deeply about: from 2Pac to Willie Nelson, John Prine to Donna Summer, Ray Charles to Future. Keeping an open mind to new styles allows Danny and Julius, as well as listeners, the opportunity to step out of individualized music bubbles and find new music to love.

S2 E6 J Dilla's "Welcome 2 Detroit" > "Donuts" > "The Shining" - 3 Album Run
It's Dilla Time this week on the Good Music Show. On this episode, Julius leads us in a discussion on the legendary producer/rapper J Dilla, who tragically only has one 3 album run to talk about.
We'll cover his debut solo album, his most famous album that arrived 3 days before his passing, and what should be considered his final album even though it was finished and released posthumously. Dilla made a huge impact on music in general, so of course we'll talk about the many projects that he worked on and the resulting influence.
Dilla is a fascinating and mysterious figure, so we'll attempt to bust some of the myths surrounding him and his work. We hope listeners will get a chance to look past the huge impact of Donuts to discover everything he brought to the table and appreciate his unique talent.
