Raise It Up For Ma Dukes
Raw clips from my feature documentary in production Raise It Up For Ma Dukes.
Detroit musician J Dilla was one of the music industry's most influential hip-hop artists, working for big-name acts like De La Soul, Busta Rhymes and Common. Considered by many to be the greatest hip hop producer of all time, the visionary producer died from Lupus in 2006. Without health insurance his mother, Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey, mortgaged her home and life savings to help save her beloved son. In 2008 she lost her home and realized that her son's estate would be turned over to the government due to the overwhelming debt brought on by his disease. Today Ma Dukes is not only fighting for her son's estate, she is also fighting the same disease that took her son.
