Slum Village Returns With 'F.U.N.': A Joyous Revival of Hip-Hop and a Tribute to Their Legacy


In an interview with BET, Slum Village talks about their enduring bond, the joyous return with their latest album, and the profound impact of their past as they bridge generational gaps in hip-hop.

They noted how fans across Europe exhibit an unwavering enthusiasm for both classic hip-hop and modern hits, equally embracing artists from different eras, including Lil Uzi Vert. “A friend of mine who I went to school with mom owned Joe Ann’s BBQ so that’s how we were able to get the licensing for the cover,” explained Young RJ, who had produced a few tracks on the album with then Slum Village line-up of T3 and Elzhi. Young RJ said that despite the eyes on Slum Village at the time with “Selfish” and Detroit Deli, it was a bittersweet moment for Dilla despite feeling happy about what he heard during early listenings.
