Seems like there might be a little bit of justice left in the world, and I’m not talking about about a French electro duo. According to Okayplayer Dilla’s heirs have overcome the legal battle they’ve been entangled in since Dilla’s death. As Vibe (remember?) reported last year they were barred from any Dilla-related profits:

Dilla left two daughters – Ja’Mya, 7, and Paige, 9 – to provide for, a sizeable IRS bill, and unresolved legal issues surrounding the use of his beats. Ma Dukes says she has never received money from her son’s estate and that her plans to establish a foundation in his name were quashed by the executor of his estate. Somehow, she was not reduced to tears even after Dilla’s attorney informed her that she had no legal right to use her own son’s name or likeness for commercial purposes. Not even to support his family.

New attorneys have been appointed to guard J Dilla’s estate who’ve said they are planning to work closely with Dilla’s family. Let’s hope they keep their word, more as the story develops.
