Slum Village - Money Right

This is a '90's head's dream.  Slum Village on a Madlib beat.
Instant "That's My Jam" status.
SV's Villa Manifesto EP is out today!

Slum Village - Dope Man

Newness from one of Hip-Hop's most under-rated entities (in whichever form it happens to manifest itself), Slum Village.  Have some.

Mick Boogie x Peter, Bjorn & John ft. Big Sean, Black Milk & T3 (Slum Village) - Just The Past (nVMe Remix)

From this.
Drums are crazy . . .have some.

Slum Village - Actin Normal (clip)

I guess this is one of the last bits of proper music video footage for Baatin.
His flow/verse sound almost like Ghostface to me here.

R.I.P. Baatin

Wow...stay off the internet for a weekend and you can really miss some things.
Its incredible how many notable people have been lost in the last few months.

On Saturday, Baatin, founding member of Slum Village (a very close personal #2 right behind Tribe) passed away in his native Detroit.

Much like fellow group member J-Dilla before him, I hope his work (and all that of Slum Village as a whole) gains in appreciation.

Slum Village - Cloud 9

(Head to MySpace to rock it without all the damn tags)

I must say, I'm pretty happy to make this post. Slum Village is right up there on my All-Time Groups list with the likes of Tribe and De La Soul, so hearing new music from them makes me pretty efphin' happy. And as an added bonus, I'm pretty sure that was Baatin on verse 2...unless I've lost my mind and that was just an audible mirage caused by wishful thinking. Either way...I'm good.

Slum Village - Climax

Because it sounds right on a Tuesday.
(and I like kicking up SV vs. Tribe debates)
