Warming you up for the gig at Tavernier this next Sunday the thirteenth, I requested Lefto to prepare a neat Slum Village tribute mix, a special edition mini-podcast, for you and yours.

Then right after that I came to realize how I’ve spent half of my highschool life listening to this one tape, recorded from Studio Brussels, where Lefto and Krewcial had Slum Village in the studio for an interview and freestyle moment on De Hop, right around when Fantastic Volume 2 dropped. Luckily Jazz Neversleeps was able to recover this very session on an old cassette tape of his, recorded it, and there you have it: an exclusive mix + interview + freestyle podcast, ft. T3 and Baatin (Jaydee wasn’t with them on tour at the moment).

Sunday December 13th : Slum Village at BlueFunkDistrict at Le Tavernier, Brussels. Don’t miss out on this one! Seriously, a gig like that on a sunday, it’s a no-brainer really, unless you prefer watching quizes on television, but I presume not, right?

Slum Village’s “Villa Manifesto EP” is coming out December 15th, a digital release only, on Barak Records. Download the single ‘Dopeman’ and feel the energy right there, good music is on the horizon!

For the people who’re new to Slum Village and are catching up on the classics they’ve missed, Barak Records is releasing ‘Fantastic Vol2.10‘, The Double CD set contains the original mixes, skits and instrumentals not contained on Fantastic Vol. 2, Slum Village’s now-classic album, which influenced anything that followed and redefined hiphop all together.

Watch this next video as T3 and Elhzi break things down for you, in part 1 of Da Villa Chronicles:

As for the new album, here’s another preview : ‘Actin Normal’, produced by Kariem Riggins, directed by Dwele, lovely clip still featuring Baatin (RIP):
