Detroit Deli (A Taste of Detroit) (2004)

Slum Village
Reviewed by Raymond Fiore | Jul 16, 2004

Details Release Date: Jun 29, 2004; Lead Performance: Slum Village; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

From the frenetic, rock-tinged force of ''The Hours'' to the eerie sexiness of ''Dirty,'' Deli impresses most with production prowess. In that way, it's reminiscent of the Detroit outfit's sonically progressive debut, 2000's underground hip-hop classic ''Fantastic, Vol. 2.'' If only rappers T3 and Elzhi had the personality to match the enticing soundscapes of beatmakers Jay Dee (Fantastic's mastermind) and BR Gunna.
