Slum Village

Slum Village, after establishing their distinct sound in the mid-1990s with the recording of their debut album ‘Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1)’ between 1996 and 1997, went on to become an influential force in hip-hop. The group’s initial work, though not officially released until 2006, laid the groundwork for their unique artistic identity. In 1994, founding member J Dilla connected with Q-Tip through Funkadelic keyboardist Amp Fiddler, leading to Dilla joining The Ummah production collective and contributing to acclaimed projects for artists such as A Tribe Called Quest in 1995.

After a period where T3 pursued solo endeavors starting in 2017, the group has continued to adapt and push creative boundaries, showcasing their ongoing evolution within the music industry. Their recent creative output underscores their sustained relevance and dynamic presence. Slum Village released their latest album, ‘F.U.N.,’ in 2024, continuing to build on their distinctive discography. Looking ahead, the group is slated to release the single ‘All The Ways’ in 2025, further demonstrating their commitment to delivering fresh material and maintaining their influential stance in hip-hop.
