Slum Village

The group was formerly composed of the rappers Titus Glover aka Baatin (1974–2009), T3 aka T3, and rapper & producer James Yancey aka J Dilla (1974–2006). J Dilla left in 2001 to pursue a solo career with MCA Records. Jason Powers aka Elzhi joined in his absence, after which Baatin also left due to health complications. Following J Dilla's death in 2006 and Baatin's death in 2009, T3 remains the sole surviving member of the original lineup. Over its history, the group has been through several line-up changes, which once included J Dilla's younger brother John Yancey aka Csilla, but now the group exists as a duo of T3 and producer Young RJ aka Young RJ.
