Detroit’s own Slum Village will be hitting the Jazz Cafe in Camden on Tuesday 28th of February in support of their previously unreleased, first ever album “Fantastic Volume 1“, released through Scenario Records on 2nd of May.
Volume One is the album which first highlighted the immense talent of producer and founding Slum Village member Jay-Dee aka J-Dilla. Ironically, for a project which garnered such huge critical praise within the industry it was never officially released, and became instead one of hip hop’s most bootlegged releases ever – ‘platinum on the street’ as Jay-Dee himself called it in an interview, at the same time thanking those responsible for putting him on the map as a producer.
R.I.P – J DILLA
1974 – 2006
Tour dates:
Tues Feb 27th – Jazz Cafe
Thurs April 27th – Leeds
Fri April 28th – Jazz Cafe
