Renowned for unquantized, swingy drumwork and inventive sampling, Dilla reshaped hip-hop and contributed to landmark groups like Slum Village and the Soulquarians. He collaborated as Jaylib with Madlib, forging forward-thinking collaborations that still influence artists across rap, neo-soul, and electronic-influenced hip-hop.
