Villa Manifesto

Slum Village is set to release its first album in five years, the partially posthumous Villa Manifesto. Heading up this project, T3 brought together elements of his friends' and musical cohorts' past recordings to make Villa Manifesto what is being called "both a reunion and a memorial album."

On his new record's title, T3 said, "The reason why we call it Villa Manifesto is that it was a statement we want to give our people because we had been away for so long. What we're doing, what's going on, how we're feeling, and where we're at today."

Villa Manifesto hits stores July 27!
