Slum Village touring, J Dilla has a "new" single (dates/stream)
Slum Village, the group which once counted the late J Dilla as a member, are set to to release a new album, Evolution, this June, and they’ll be kicking off an international tour this week in support of it. That tour hits NYC on April 30 at Santos Party House. The show is looking pretty solid, with music by Mick Boogie and DJ Martin, and performances by Tanya Morgan and Skyzoo, in addition to The Action Figures, Citi Lightz, and Singapore Kane. Tickets for that show are on sale now. All dates are listed below.
In related news, two previously unreleased J Dilla songs have surfaced on a new 12″: “Trucks” (which prominently samples Gary Numan’s “Cars”) and “Anthem.” Both feature Dilla rapping, in addition to producing. Stream them below.
