officialslumvillage's new record, F.U.N., brings funk and disco influences to the forefront of the group’s aesthetic, though the jazz and soul tinges Dilla favored are not entirely absent either. ⁠ ⁠ The project hosts several returning collaborators — Fat Ray, Karriem Riggins, Abstract Orchestra — as well as newer friends such as Larry June, Brittney Carter, Sango, and Robert Glasper, who produced F.U.N.’s closing track with help from his son Riley. These aesthetic and personnel updates don’t amount to a reinvention of Slum Village’s proverbial wheel, but the wheel is certainly spinning again, moving confidently forward and easily shaking off a decade of dust.⁠ ⁠ Read hamiltonthemixtape's interview with youngrj313 and t3slum on their new album, the state of Detroit rap, and enduring legacy at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸 frankiefultz⁠ ⁠ #SlumVillage
