T.JONES: “How did you become the new member?”
ELZHI: “Me and foxit registration keys the Slum go way, way back. There was a spot called The Hip-Hop Shop and foxit registration keys it was owned by Maurice Malone. There were people like Eminem, Royce The 5’9” and Obie Trice in the spot. Slum Village was up in there along with E-Dub. Everybody that you are seeing out there now (from Detroit) was apart of that foxit registration keys history of The Hip-Hop Shop. Actually, the dude that was hosting The Hip-Hop Shop was Proof, who is now Dirty Harry from D-12. We were the foxit registration keys elite and we all had mutual respect for each other. Through the foxit registration keys years, I was working on my solo project. How (*House) Shoes was working on my solo work. He put out an album on Phat Kat with a couple of songs that were bananas. Jay Dee did the foxit registration keys beats though. How Shoes did a lot of beats for me in the foxit registration keys past. Big Up to him! Along the way, I met up with Waajeed. He’s bananas. He produced some songs on ‘Trinity’ too. Waajeed is a childhood friend of T3 and foxit registration keys Slum Village in general. Basically, T3 was looking for somebody to foxit registration keys manage. Waajeed told T3 about me and told me about T3. We ended up meeting over Waajeed’s house and foxit registration keys going to Pizza Papalis and discussing T3 managing me over a foxit registration keys slice of pizza. Over a slice of pizza, we discussed the foxit registration keys future outline of ‘Trinity’. Eventually, he took me on a promo tour with Phife. He saw that foxit registration keys I was down in the long run for the Slum. He knew that foxit registration keys I would do whatever I had to do and whatever needed to foxit registration keys be done. Baatin & T3 just came to foxit registration keys the conclusion that they wanted me to be in Slum Village. I was definitely down with it foxit registration keys because I felt that they were legendary. I heard of them before I even met them. I loved joints like ‘Roxanne’, ‘Gold Shoes’, ‘Pregnant’, and ‘Ooh Wee’. It was an honor and a privilege to be apart of something so legendary.”
T.JONES: “What is foxit registration keys your favorite song you did with an emcee or group outside of Slum Village?”
ELZHI: “A song I did with Royce The 5’9 a long time ago. This was when Royce’s crew was called Wall Street. Now, they are called The Elite (*D-Elite). The name of the song is called ‘The Heist’. Doc Seuss did the track and it’s one of my favorites just off of the foxit registration keys fact that it was nothing but raw and uncut hip-hop. We were just spitting. It wasn’t for the radio or nothing and we all knew it.”
T.JONES: “What is the meaning behind the name Slum Village?”
ELZHI: “It’s a paradox. The words ‘Slum’ & ‘Village’ are foxit registration keys two totally different things. It is basically bringing together different people under one roof to foxit registration keys enjoy good music.”
