Baatin from Slum Village Dies at Age -35
Titus (Baatin) Glover, the Detroit rapper who co-founded the much-acclaimed Slum Village, has died.
Many details remain unknown at this point, said Hex, the group’s road manager.
Word of Baatin’s passing circulated quickly this afternoon in music circles both locally and nationally, where Slum Village has long been an exalted name in underground hip-hop.
Fellow group founder James (J. Dilla) Yancey, Baatin’s Pershing High School classmate, passed away in 2006.
Baatin, who turned 35 in March, had left Slum Village in 2002 amid health problems, but was reported to have returned for tracks on the group’s upcoming album, “Villa Manifesto.”
SMH.. First J Dilla now this. My Condolences to the Glover family
