About This Print
Obey X Dilla is a 2009 collaborative screen print made with photographer B+ to benefit J Dilla's mother, who has lupus, with proceeds going toward her medical bills. Published by Obey Giant in an edition of 400, the print measures 18 x 24 inches and was signed by both B+ and Shepard Fairey. Released February 20, 2009 at a retail price of $55, the work pairs Fairey's OBEY visual language with a tribute to the late hip-hop producer J Dilla, who died of lupus. It functions both as a music-world homage and a charitable benefit poster.
