Royce Da 5 "9" and Talib Kweli are set to headline the second annual "Dilla Day Tribute" concert.

It "s been seven years since J Dilla passed away due to complications with Lupus, but that doesn "t mean Hip Hop has forgotten him. Now, in a recent report from AllHipHop, the headliners for the second annual "Dilla Day Tribute" concert have been announced.

Detroit veteran Royce Da 5 "9" and Brooklyn rhymer Talib Kweli have been tapped to headline the annual concert, which will happen this February 9 at the famed Fillmore Detroit. Other performers include Dilla "s affiliates Frank-N-Dank, Illa J, DJ House Shoes, DJ Spinna and others.

The concert, which will be hosted by Yolanda "Yo-Yo" Whitaker and Grap Luva, will also ring in the premiere of Lost Scrolls Volume I, a collection of lost J Dilla productions set to drop via Delicious Vinyl later this year.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will go to the J Dilla Foundation, a non-profit charity organization founded by Dilla "s mother Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey. Tickets for the concert can be purchased through Live Nation or the venue "s website.
