Slum Village - Tell Me (Unreleased)

As Dilla month continues, the goodies keep on rolling in. This one is an unreleased SV jam from WAY BACK, before Dilla even had a drum machine, which means the beat was actually made using the 'pause and stop record' method.

KanYe West, Frank Ocean & Tyler The Creator in the studio together

Whilst down under in Australia, KanYe West was spotted in the studio with Odd Future starlets Frank Ocean & Tyler, The Creator.
