As some of you have probably already heard, we lost another great artist this morning. Baatin, of the legendary Detroit hip-hip outfit Slum Village, was found dead this morning. 1997′s Fantastic Vol. 1 and 2000′s Fantastic Vol. 2 will always remain on the short list for two of my top ten favorite rap albums of all time. Jay Dilla’s soulful production on those albums is still regarded as some of the finest production on any hip-hop release ever, and although Dilla himself passed away in 2006, I still find myself throwing on some old Slum Village tracks consistently. RIP, Baatin. Here’s some of my favorite SV tracks.
