Detroit's finest Slum Village take over Jazz cafe for a triple headliner, reinjecting the scene with much-needed soulful, 90s vibes.
Emerging from Detroit's underground scene in 1996, Slum Village revolutionized hip-hop with their jazz-infused beats and razor-sharp lyricism, cementing their status as one of the genre's most influential groups. As founding members of the Soulquarians collective alongside legends like D'Angelo and Questlove, they helped shape the sound of alternative rap with their signature blend of smooth grooves, intricate wordplay, and soulful production.
Hits like "Fall in Love," "Selfish," (featuring Kanye West), and "Get Dis Money" remain timeless anthems—showcasing their ability to craft laid-back yet lyrically potent tracks that resonate across generations. Their influence echoes through modern icons from J Dilla (a founding member) to Kendrick Lamar, who’ve all cited the group as pivotal to their sound.
Now, Slum Village bring their legendary energy to a triple-headline residency, promising deep cuts, fan favorites, and surprise appearances from special guests who’ve been shaped by their legacy. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their catalog, this is a rare chance to experience hip-hop history live—where every beat, rhyme, and hook reminds you why they remain unmatched pioneers.
