This episode dives deep into the Shinola J Dilla Watch. It is a powerful tribute to one of hip-hop’s most influential producers. It also serves as a symbol of Detroit’s creative heartbeat. We explore who J Dilla was. We discuss why his impact on music is timeless. Shinola honored his legacy through design. This watch represents more than fashion. It stands for Detroit craftsmanship, Black creativity, and cultural preservation. From beat timing to watch timing, this is where hip-hop and horology collide.
Before we start, I want to be completely transparent:
I am currently a Shinola employee.
All opinions shared in this episode are my own, based on my personal experiences, respect, and gratitude for the opportunities I’ve been given.
