T3 of Slum Village is Hip Hop Official's Artist of the Week

"Me and Dilla talked about doing a reunion album with me, him, Baatin and Elzhi, but we didn't get a chance to do that. Dilla passed away. Once that happened, I said, if Slum Village go back in the studio I'm not gonna do another album without Baatin."

Luckily, Baatin got a chance to work on the group's upcoming "Villa Manifesto" album before he passed away on Aug. 1.
