Remember when I mentioned my Slum Village addiction earlier? I never mentioned that SV's latest EP, Villa Manifesto, was released on Tuesday. If you're true to hip-hop (like many of you say you are) then you may already have this.
'Villa Manifesto LP' (which is scheduled to be released some time next year) is the album that reunited the three members since before Baatin's departure in the early 00s. The 6 track EP of the same name, comes about 3 months after the death of member Baatin, leaving eLZhi and T3 to fend for themselves.
To me this is simply a teaser, but I'm happy nonetheless. 'Villa Manifesto EP' definitely resurrects that distinct Slum Village sound with tracks like "Dope Man" and "Cloud 9" featuring Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry (BTW doesn't "Cloud 9" sound like it could be on the 'Trinity' album?). If you're wondering about production credits, Black Milk and Young RJ (together known as B. R. Gunna), Madlib, and Focus are all a part of the magic.
If you want (and you SHOULD want) to download 'Villa Manifesto EP' head on over to iTunes/Rhapsody and look for it right now. *Unfortunately it's only digital download, no copies...BUT it isn't much longer until 'Villa Manifesto LP' drops.
