Slum Village: Detroit&#39;s Beats from the Block
Born from the vibrant energy of Detroit&#39;s Conant Gardens, Slum Village is more than just a group - it&#39;s a brotherhood bound by friendship and music. Founded in the early 90s by T3, Baatin, and the legendary J Dilla (a.k.a. Jay Dee), they started as &#34;Ssenepod&#34; before blossoming into the iconic name we know today.
Their early recordings, crafted in the intimacy of Dilla&#39;s basement, pulsated with the raw energy of the Detroit underground. By 1998, their talent landed them a record deal, launching them onto a path of critical acclaim and commercial success.
Though J Dilla embarked on a solo journey in 2000, his influence remained deeply ingrained in the group&#39;s DNA. T3 and Baatin continued to push boundaries, dropping classic albums like &#34;Trinity&#34; (featuring the hit &#34;Tainted&#34;) and &#34;Detroit Deli&#34; (boasting the Kanye West-produced &#34;Selfish&#34;).
Joined by Grammy-nominated producer Young RJ in 2009, T3 has ensured the group&#39;s legacy continues to evolve. Together, they&#39;ve released albums like &#34;Villa Manifesto&#34; and &#34;YES,&#34; the latter featuring Dilla&#39;s posthumous production.
Today, Slum Village remains a revered name in Detroit hip-hop. With over 12 years together, T3 and Young RJ honor the group&#39;s original vision while infusing it with fresh energy and infectious enthusiasm. Their latest single, &#34;Request,&#34; proves they&#39;re still pushing boundaries and captivating audiences worldwide.
