Slum Village - The ? Slums Mixtape
I thought they broke up? i see theres a new single with de la soul and a new album on the way. Anyone know about a reunion or whos in the group now?

New single with De La Soul:

Presumably this won't make the album that's on the way…

    They broke up??? Did you hear Villa Manifesto??? Underrated. Didn't realise they'd broke up since but I'm looking forward to another release if they do it!

    Yup yup. well i got the info from the reason suprisingly.

    Villa Manifesto saw the return of Baatin. T3 brought in Illa J to give it that J Dilla essence. After Villa manifesto something happened. Baatin Died and Elzhi was kicked out of the group. The new Mixtape coming out is something to keep us occupied until they drop Fan-Tas-Tik vol 3. new line up is T3, Illa J, and Young RJ (producer, he produced Schemin off Villa Manifesto)

    Do we know why eLZhi was kicked out? Hate that I can't keep up as much anymore.

    ILLA J is underrated. His solo efforts are nice.

    I don't know if he was officially but I do know him and RJ Rice had a big clash! That interview he did a year or two ago explained the whole situation!

    And whats the new Dilla album again? is this gonna be all new material or a rough draft of some beats that his friend finished?

    Can't wait to hear how comes back following Elmatic.

    Word is that Dilla has a 4000-track collection of beats… they (his new label Yancey Music Group) selected artists who would have worked with Dilla since '89. A huge statement, but one that shows that these songs will be newly produced in terms of the emcee's, but that the beats are largely in-tact and produced by J Dilla himself.

    Ah i see, i saw Blu got one of his beats and released a song that was really dope. I know a co producer (for some reason i wanna say Kariem Biggins or something like that) finished up "The Shining" for him. good to see we shall still be hearing some dilla for quite sometime tho.

    I think I've heard of Keriem Biggins too…

    Yeah, I think he'll have quite a few posthumous albums… for as long as his Mother is well enough to head up his music anyways… looking forward to the album…
