Slum Village

Chances are, if you are anywhere near the Detroit
music scene, you have heard of the influential hip
hop trio that makes up Slum Village. The group
was founded in the early 90's by 3 childhood
friends: Baatin, T3, rapper and producer J Dilla,
who all grew up together in the Conant Gardens
neighborhood of Detroit, MI. After leaving
Pershing High School, the trio began to forge a
path into the Detroit underground hip hop scene
and quickly found themselves steadily gaining
popularity, where they originally went by the
name Ssenepod.
