With the release of Villa Manifesto came rumors that it would be Slum Village’s final album. Following the death of Dilla in 2006, T3 stopped making music completely. After a significant mourning period, he reluctantly continued on, only to see his remaining founding partner, Baatin, a recovering schizophrenic, fall prey to the same fate during the recording of Villa Manifesto in 2009. Slum Village was put to rest with no expectations of re-forming before T3 decided that his musical brothers would want him to carry the torch. Villa Manifesto addresses the issues of death and the reasons for the group’s hiatus, which makes for an outing that delves into darker territory. However, the subjects of overcoming odds and urban plight have always been commonplace for SV and when you come from Detroit, you develop a thick skin and a quick healing factor. Elzhi and Illa J assist T3 in the catharsis and mine J.
Condition:NEW.
