Slum Village Opens Treasure Box With The Lost Scrolls Vol. 2
The Lost Scrolls Vol. 2offers fans an exclusive look at 11 lost demos and remixes from the group’s early output, ranging from ’96 to ’99 when the group was but a trio consisting of rappers T3, Baatin, and producer J Dilla. They were quickly heralded as worthy successors to A Tribe Called Quest. The comparisons although fitting, created a logical fallacy which in turn, landed Dilla the opportunity to work with his idols, and many heavyweights in the industry. The Lost Scrolls Vol. 2 is a treat for Dilla fans worldwide.
Have you ever hit play on an album and it immediately took you back to a happy place and time, The Lost Scrolls Vol. 2 gave this effect. We are lucky Slum Village opened their own musical vault gifting us with this Hip Hop treasure to enjoy!
About Slum VillageChances are, if you are anywhere near the Detroit music scene, you’ve heard of the influential hip hop trio that makes up Slum Village. The group was founded in the early 90’s by 3 childhood friends: Baatin, T3, rapper and producer J Dilla, who all grew up together in the Conant Gardens neighborhood of Detroit, MI. After leaving Pershing High School, the trio began to forge a path into the Detroit underground hip hop scene and quickly found themselves steadily gaining popularity, where they originally went by the name Ssenepod.
In 1991 the group changed their name to Slum Village recording their first album “Vol. 1”, in Dilla’s basement and RJ Rice Studios, it was critically acclaimed in the Detroit underground scene, later finding its way into the hands of A Tribe Called Quest’s own Q-Tip, who played it for some of hip hop’s elite, such as Busta Rhymes, Questlove, and D’angelo.
