Slum Village - Tell Me (Unreleased)

As Dilla month continues, the goodies keep on rolling in. This one is an unreleased SV jam from WAY BACK, before Dilla even had a drum machine, which means the beat was actually made using the 'pause and stop record' method. 'Tell Me' also showcases Jay Dee's massively under-rated skills on the mic. See the full story after the jump.

"While some consider Dilla’s strong suit to be production, others look to his rhyming for inspiration. This early Slum Village track, “Tell Me What You Want” is a fine example of his ill penmanship. It was one of the first efforts as Baatin, T3 and Dilla came out of the Senepod crew name and became Slum Village. At the time Dilla didn’t even have a drum machine, so this beat was actually made using the “pause and record” tape method. It was never released."
