Dirty Slums

Slum Village

Soulful Detroit boom bap with a gritty, late-night edge. Dusty samples and unquantized drums create a warm but weary urban atmosphere.

March 27, 2012

A sophisticated blend of urban grit and soulful warmth that feels both weary and resilient.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, gospel-inflected vocal chop that anchors the opening of God Sent.
The way the percussion on Hunger feels slightly behind the beat, creating a signature Detroit drag.
The transition into the smooth, R&B-leaning hook of Special that lightens the album's mid-section grit.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
