Title: Slum Village Producer Jay Dee In Coma
Post by: Lil Jay on January 19, 2005, 05:06:05 AM

After fallen seriously ill in the past year, former Slum Village and A Tribe Called Quest producer Jay Dee aka J Dilla has reportedly been hospitalized and remains in critical condition.

The Roots drummer ?uestlove posted the news on the Okayplayer website asking the users to pray for the producer who is presently in and out of a coma. According to ?uest, Dilla was found in a near coma and rushed to the hospital. Though he was put on a respirator and came through several hours ago, Dilla's life is still believed to be in jeopardy.

While details on his condition are still sketchy, ?uestlove alluded to the beat maker needing a new liver. The Detroit musician has had health problems in the past year. The usually slim Jay Dee appeared to have gained massive weight when posing alongside partner Mad Lib on the cover of URB magazine's March 2004 issue.

In recent months, the producer has been working on several projects including Common's upcoming Be alongside Kanye West.
