There’s one album that doesn’t come up in the Dilla conversation enough. It’s some of his best work, was a turning point for him as a producer, and helped birth the neo soul movement.

Today we're talking about Slum Village. If you’re a Dilla fan and you don’t know Slum Village, get ready, cuz it’s some of Dilla’s finest work, and that’s saying a LOT. If you’re already a Slum Village fan, you’re in the right place.

We’re diving into the story of Fantastic Vol 1 AND 2, of Slum Village, and of this pivotal transition time for J Dilla. We’ll dive into a few songs to see how his production evolved, why these albums aren't as well known, and how it birthed the neo soul movement.
