BARAK RELEASES SLUM VILLAGE, PROCLAIMS “VILLA MANIFESTO” ONE OF THE BEST
ALBUMS EVER MADE
(Rap Newswire) After a long leave from the group, Baatin has returned
home. Lyrically brilliant as ever and as only they can, Slum Village has
once again created a collection of music that both moves your feet and
soothes your soul. From their new CD "Villa Manifesto," scheduled for release
September 22, 2009, Slum Village will begin their journey with their new
single "Cloud 9" featuring Marsha Ambrosius (Producer: FOCUS, Executive
Producer: Young RJ).
Along the journey listeners will find the unique sound of Macy Gray,
featured on “Love and Misery,” and the smooth sound of Colin Munro on “FASTER.”
This CD is a labor of love, with Young RJ overseeing the project, the return
of “Baatin” and the single mindedness of T-3 to give fans their best. The
result is one of the best albums Slum Village has ever made. Combining
the talents of producers Hi-Tek, Mr. Porter, Madlib, Pete Rock, Young RJ,
and FOCUS, Jared “Villa Manifesto” is sure to please.
Slum Village will be distributed digitally through IODA, one of the
largest digital distributors of independent music. Commenting on their
release, Adam Rabinovitz, IODA’s Vice President of Marketing, said, “Slum
Village is the perfect example of how digital distribution can revive the
profile of a truly great group after a long hiatus. IODA has already secured
top level placements at retailers like Amazon, eMusic, MySpace and Verizon,
ensuring new and old fans alike will know that Slum Village are back with
one of their best records yet.”
