Presently due for July 29 release on E1 Records, an official tracklisting for Slum Village‘s Villa Manifesto LP has been made available to HipHopDX. The revolutionary Detroit Hip Hop outfit will see their sixth official album celebrate the group’s founding member J Dilla.
Dilla is slated (at present) to appear on five songs. There is no word at this time on how involved late founding Slum member Baatin was with Villa Manifesto, before his death last summer. Longtime producer after Dilla’s early ’00s departure from the group, Young RJ, is also on board. Phife and De La Soul appear alongside the S.V. on “Scheming,” while Little Brother, a group deeply influenced by Slum, will appear on “Where Do We Go From Here.”
