We?re proud to announce SLUM VILLAGE live SATURDAY JULY 10th 2010 at DOUBLE DOOR[/b] in Chicago! The duo will be touring in preparation for the release of their new album VILLA MANIFESTO.. THE LP[/b] (Ne?Astra Music Group, August 2010), the group?s first project to be released since the passing of Slum Village founding member Baatin.SLUM VILLAGE, with original members T3, Baatin and producer J Dilla, defined the sound of golden era hip hop coming out of Detroit. The work of legendary producer J Dilla still echos in todays newer generation of artists. The group?s first album, Fantastic, Vol 1. of 1996 wasn?t actually release until 2005 but was highly sought after by serious hip hop heads in all underground circles. Their second effort, Fantastic, Vol. 2 featured D?Angelo, Busta Rhymes, Kurupt, Pete Rock and A Tribe Called Quest?s Q-Tip, among others. It became an instant classic and and Slum Village was seen as the second coming of the Native Tongues (A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul) by member Q-Tip, as well as fans and journalists alike.As J Dilla left to pursue a solo career, T3 brought in rapper Elzhi to join. The group continued to be tested as Baatin departed the join to seek treatment for illness. Since then producer J Dilla died from TTP and Lupus, and Baatin returned to the group in 2008 only to pass away last year.Though two members are gone their creative energy stays in-tact. Testament to this is the upcoming release of the new buzz single ?Lock It Down? featuring Baatin and produced by J Dilla. Chicago and Detroit hip hop has always had a similar soulful sound with lots of love in between, so expect a night of classic music that feels a little bit like a family reunion.Opening for Slum is Chicago stand-out Que Billah with live band The Shocking Truth, 80?s Babies who?s new album Sonic Music is out now, with Crown Nation, DJ Rude One and Awdazcate as your host.This event is brought to you by Ground Lift Media and Cold Grums Productions.[/b]Double Door1572 N.Milwaukee Ave21+ doors 9pm$15 presales available at www.clubtix.net
