Description
Detroit rap collective Slum Village seized
the underground hip hop scene in the 90’s with their first album Fantastic Volume 1. The trio, which then consisted of Baatin, T3, and Jay Dee, united with some of hip hop’s supreme MC’s such as Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, and Pete
Rock. In 2001, Jay Dee, also known as J Dilla,
left the group to pursue a solo career, and Elzhi
was introduced. A couple of years later, Baatin
fell ill while touring in France and departed.
T3 and Elzhi went on to record music together
under the reputable moniker Slum Village,
before tragedy struck. In February 2006, after
being diagnosed with TTP and Lupus, Jay Dee
passed away. Two years later, T3 announced
that Baatin would be returning to the group
and collaborating on a new Slum Village
album. Unfortunately, tragedy struck a second
time taking the life of Baatin in July 2009. Through the group’s misfortune, Slum Village
remains. Villa Manifesto, the latest installment,
showcases past, present, and future members
at their lyrical best.
