Slum Village delivered an all-world classic with their second album, Fantastic, Vol. 2. The project made the Detroit-based crew critical darlings and further cemented the reputation of producer J Dilla, who co-founded Slum Village with high school friends Baatin and T3 in 1994. While both Dilla and Baatin tragically passed away in 2006 and 2009, respectively, SV has remained active (with longtime affiliate Young RJ joined in 2012) and the group’s legacy has continued to hold strong. Okayplayer caught up with Young RJ and T3 to talk about the album’s legacy on the occasion of Fantastic, Vol. 2’s 25-year anniversary.
