He was definitely around then. He was there at the beginning and at their 2002-2006 peak.
Detroiters consider Elz an OG member. So what he wasn’t on Vol. 1 (Vol. 2 is just a repackaged version of the same album), he was on every album after.
I get he Slum Village in the same sense as Johnny Gill is New Edition after Bobby Brown left.
And I don’t wanna disrespect
@DetroitEWarren @detroitwalt and all the other Detroit homey.
And I feel the whole 2002-06 peak thing.
However, it’s still J88, Fantastic 1, Fantastic 2 for me.
When Dilla left in 01, the Baatin died. That was it for me
Ehzhi came later, I don’t recall him on any J88 or pre 2001 SV tracks or Dilla beats.
If he was, please put me on kind sir
