A quarter-century ago, Slum Village was in the process of following up their Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1) debut. That underground album became a calling card for a new sound coming out of Detroit, Michigan — and three artists bringing the change. T3, J Dilla, and Baatin were in the process of following up and making good on another album worthy of its name, Fan-Tas-Tic, Volume 2.
A year before Volume 2, Slum supplied The Office Space soundtrack with a banger. 1999’s “Get Dis Money” became a hit for the trio—even without a music video. The 20th Century Fox/Interscope Records 12″ single is much bigger than a song about counting cash. The record, which later landed on 2000’s sophomore LP, showed three men on their creative ascent and holding one another to a higher standard artistically. It is the first song of a new Ambrosia For Heads throwback playlist (follow here) that currently celebrates indelible Hip-Hop from the end of the 1990s into the mid-2000s.
