Monday / A lesser known Slum Village album, and EP under the moniker “J-88″ (circa 2000) had some of the best low key hip hop tracks, tracks that almost nobody has been introduced to. “Things You Do” is my favorite track on the record and thought it would be a great track to share on a Monday! Hopefully it inspires people to check out the entire EP, which was titled Best Kept Secret. Enjoy…
J-88 / Things You Do

Today went for work and listened instr. SV and J-88, two years I do not erase these albums from a player
I remember walking into Blue Note Records in N. Miami back in 2000. I saw this burgundy covered CD with three cartoon-ish faces on the front, under the title J-88. I looked on the back and saw it was produced by Jay Dee (having no idea it was an SV album). I bought it just because Dilla produced it, but to find out it was an Slum alias made it that much better. Still have the original CD 10 years later on Landspeed Records!
Classic times with a classic group. Long live SV!
