Detroit rap collective Slum Village seized the underground hip hop scene in the 90's with their first album Fantastic Volume 1. The trio, which then consisted of Baatin, T3, and Jay Dee, united with some of hip hop's supreme MC's such as Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, and Pete Rock. In 2001, Jay Dee, also known as J Dilla, left the group to pursue a solo career, and Elzhi was introduced. A couple of years later, Baatin fell ill while touring in France and departed. T3 and Elzhi went on to record music together under the reputable moniker Slum Village, before tragedy struck.
Now this is the Manifesto, with contributions by Babu, J Dilla, De La Soul, Phife of A Tribe Called Quest, ?uestlove & Little Brother plus producion by Young RJ, J Dilla, Mr. Porter, Hi Tek, Dave West, T3, Craig Lane & Krhysis!
