Detroit hip-hop collective Slum Village have already released some J Dilla-produced songs from YES!, and with the album due to drop on June 16, they've now shared the entire thing.
Dilla was a member of Slum Village early in his career, and the late beat-maker is credited as producer on all but three of these 12 tracks.
Given that much of YES! utilizes posthumous production from a beat-maker who passed away almost a decade ago, it's no surprise that the album has an old-school vibe with classic-sounding hip-hop rhythms and arrangements that incorporate vintage jazz and soul. Meanwhile, Slum Village trade verses with guests like De La Soul, Black Milk, BJ the Chicago Kid and more.
Hear the album below.
