Thanks go out to Greg V for this one. Slum Village were originally a crew of 3 highschool friends who liked making music together. Except those three friends consisted of J Dilla, Baatan and T3, and naturally with that kind of line up, they were producing some of the root tasty tracks Dilla refined and is still widely acclaimed for. Volume 1 was a highly sought after underground hit recorded in 1996 (though it was released in 2005), with Volume 2 serving as a more polished product of re-recordings and re-imaginings of tracks from Volume 1. With Dilla as the beat conductor, both volumes are necessary; subtlety and intricacy was his game, and with freestlying being the main rhyming style of Baatan and T3, there are vast differences between the two albums.
