Slum Village
BIOGRAPHY
Emerging from the dynamic streets of Conant Gardens in Detroit, Slum Village is not just a music group, but a close-knit brotherhood tied together by friendship and their shared musical passions. Established in the early 1990s by T3, Baatin, and the iconic J Dilla (also known as Jay Dee), the group quickly became a cornerstone in Detroit's hip-hop scene.
J Dilla’s, enduring influence continued to shape the group, with his protégé and Grammy-nominated producer Young RJ
stepping in as a rapper in 2009. With T3 and Young RJ’s stewardship, Slum Village has continued to innovate, producing revered albums such as "Trinity" with the standout track"Tainted," and "Detroit Deli," featuring the popular single “Selfish” with Kanye West and John Legend.
T3 and Young RJ have been instrumental in preserving and expanding the group's legacy, leading to later albums like "Villa Manifesto" and "YES," which includes posthumous productions by Dilla. Today, Slum Village remains a celebrated
name in the world of Detroit hip-hop. With over a decade of collaboration, T3 and Young RJ stay true to the group’s founding ethos while introducing new vitality and a contagious zest.
Their recent works, including singles "Request," “Factor,” “So “Superb” and the acclaimed album “F.U.N.” featuring artists like
Cordae , Larry June, Elijah Fox, and Eric Roberson, highlight their continued commitment to breaking new ground and thrilling audiences globally. Explore their musical journey and experience the sounds that have established them as hip-hop royalty.
