Detroit, Michigan trio Slum Village has announced their latest album, The Evolution. Founding member T3, joined by Young RJ and Illa J, will follow-up two acclaimed volumes of The Dirty Slums mixtape series with Mick Boogie with a retail album on June 25.
The Ne’Astra Music album will include appearances by Blu, Havoc, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Rapper Big Pooh, Focus…—who also shared production duties with T3 and Young RJ and others.
Evolution is the first official Slum Village album with this lineup. 2010’s Villa Manifesto included the current trio, along with former member Elzhi. 2005’s self-titled album was a two-member version of the group featuring T3 and Elzhi, with Young RJ and then-partner Black Milk producing.
