\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

20 years ago, Slum Village<\/strong> finished recording their much-lauded album, “Fantastic Vol. 2”, a 21-song project that featured appearances from Q-Tip<\/strong>, D’Angelo<\/strong>, Busta Rhymes<\/strong>, Kurupt<\/strong>, Pete Rock<\/strong>, and Common<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When it was finally released two years later, the combination of J Dilla<\/strong>‘s excellent production with poetic raps from T3<\/strong> and Baatin<\/strong> drew near-unanimous praise. To celebrate the anniversary, the group and their label Ne\u2019Astra Music<\/em> have decided to release “additional relics” from the album in a project dubbed The Lost Scrolls Vol. 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

First up is a “lost remix” of the project’s Q-Tip-assisted sixth track, “Hold Tight”<\/em>. The alternate version holds on to the charmingly low-key quality of the original, while freshening things up with some subtle new production touches and vocal flourishes.<\/p>\n

Now comprised of Young RJ and T3, Slum Village have plans of touring again this summer to honor the anniversary.<\/p>\n
