R.I.P. Baatin of Slum Village

Baatin, along with J Dilla and T3, was a founding member of Slum Village. The groups released two albums, 1997's Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1), and 2000's Fantastic, Vol. 2 (2000).

When Dilla left the group in 2002 in pursuit of a solo career (and was subsequently relpaced by Detroit rapper Elzhi), Baatin followed in suit prior to the release of Slum Village's 2004 releae Detroit Deli. Baatin reportedly left due to undisclosed medical issues.
Keeping his family in our prayers!!!
