"Ma Dukes"


Please help support Maureen ‘Ma Dukes’ Yancey, the mother of the late James ‘J Dilla’ Yancey. If you are not familiar with the complexity of Ma Dukes situation, please read ‘The Battle For J Dilla’s Legacy’ in this month’s issue of Vibe Magazine.


Ma Dukes is currently battling the same disease (Lupus) that took her son’s life and completely removed from her son’s Estate. Parra was inspired by her story and teamed up with Stones Throw to create a tribute t-shirt for Ma Dukes (and mother’s across the world) where proceeds will go to Ma Dukes. The t-shirt can be ordered from
