Slum Village - ‘Tell Me’ (Unreleased)

Courtesy of Waajeed from Bling47, here is an unreleased cut from the early days of Slum Village when the group consisted of Baatin, T3 and J Dilla called ‘Tell Me’. This month has seen a number of unreleased Dilla music emerge onto the net and each gem dropping still sounds like timeless masterpieces produced by the late great Jay Dee himself.

Check out the track below and the story by Waajeed, a good friend of the legendary Detroit producer.

“While some consider Dilla’s strong suit to be production, others look to his rhyming for inspiration. This early Slum Village track, “Tell Me What You Want” is a fine example of his ill penmanship. It was one of the first efforts as Baatin, T3 and Dilla came out of the Senepod crew name and became Slum Village. At the time Dilla didn’t even have a drum machine, so this beat was actually made using the “pause and record” tape method. It was never released.

Enjoy
