Back to the basics with Dilated Peoples, the year is 2000.
Dilated Peoples - The Platform (prod. The Alchemist)
I don’t know exactly what’s going on behind the scenes, but Slum Village did drop an album called “Villa Manifesto” a couple of weeks ago. And J Dilla is on several tracks.
It’s been said that the head of the label and Elzhi are not getting along. Whatever it is, I hope they get back together… But it’s already sad that half (?) of Elzhi’s (who’s a really, really dope MC) verses got dropped from the album.
Here’s the Spotify link for the album. My man Hatsolo picked the following track as well.
Slum Village - Scheming feat. J Dilla, Posdnuos & Phife
The Roots actually did videos for both of my favorite tracks from the “How I Got Over” album.
The Roots feat. Monsters of Folk - Dear God 2.0
Like my man Pasi reminded, the original piece is ill as well:
