Dilla Day Fayetteville: Dilla Sessions

Get ready to groove and celebrate the legendary J Dilla right here in Fayetteville — this isn’t just an event, it’s a cultural moment.

Join us for Dilla Day Fayetteville: Dilla Sessions on February 21st at Arts XLR (214 Burgess St., Fayetteville, NC). Doors open at 7 PM, and we start at 8 PM sharp.

The night will be powered by DJ Prodigee out of Dallas, TX on the 1’s and 2’s, curating those signature Dilla-inspired vibes all evening. Producers will go head-to-head in a live Beat Battle bringing raw creativity, rhythm, and that signature knock that Dilla championed. Then Rizzy Raps out of Raleigh, NC will take us higher, leading into a powerful headlining performance by Dasan Ahanu and The Eloquent Band, blending poetry, soul, and hip-hop in a way that feels both classic and fresh.

And when the main show wraps, the energy doesn’t stop.

Dilla After Sessions (special ticketed event) takes place immediately after at a private downtown loft. DJ Prodigee returns to carry us through a soulful late-night experience inspired by Dilla’s legendary catalog. Expect good people, light bites, community, and a vibe that feels intentional and unforgettable.

*Please note: the after-party venue is not ADA accessible.*

Space is limited. Pull up and celebrate the legacy properly. Tickets are available in the link provided in the comments.
