Seamlessly hosted by the legendary Brucie B (who also narrated the movie version of Paid In Full), Detroit is back in the house with the third installment of the Dirty District Series ; Dirty District Vol. 3, which will be released nationally on June 6, 2006.
RJ Rice, CEO of Barak Records entrusted the sound and direction of Dirty District Vol. 3 to DJ Scrap Dirty, the labels new General Manager. Scrap was brought over from Violator, where he is one of there invaluable All Star DJs and he will now oversee all of Baraks releases. Barak could not be happier with their latest addition, as RJ Rice gushes ; We brought him in as the G.M., because of his awareness and broad diversity, particularly in the South and Midwest regions. Scraps business acumen is off the charts and hes well-versed in so many different facets of the music business. Hes a wonderful addition to our staff.
Dirty District Vol.3 is produced in its entirety by the new face of Detroit Hiphop Young RJ, who has previously worked with Kurupt of Tha Dogg Pound, Proof of D-12 and Slum Village. Straight from the streets of Detroit and at the ripe age of 22, Young RJ is already a studio veteran who brings an impeccably distinct flavor to Hip-Hop.
Whether it is a sample, or live instrumentation based track, RJ proves that he is sonically mature beyond his years and he has already displayed an insatiable work ethic ; having manned the boards for Slum Village producing the wealth of their last three albums, (Trinity, Detroit Deli and their latest Self Titled effort).
Considering Young RJ was still in high school when he contributed to Slum Villages Trinity LP and that he was settling in after Jay Dee as the groups main sound architect, the pressure of filling in for a beloved producer such as Jay Dilla and working on a major label LP with no prior credits to his resume would have been a tremendous undertaking for anyone, especially for someone who had yet to reach the legal drinking age, but Young RJ laments it was merely the next step in his progression yes, looking back on it now, there was pressure, but it was not overwhelming.
I think being so young helped me a great deal, I was just able to focus on making good music and Jay Dee taught me certain things that I used, which just added to what I already brought to the table. Im young, but I have an old soul and my production has a younger edge to it to where I feel I am able to reach the younger and older fans.
Young RJ is also the sound architect behind Slum Villages EZ Up which is now featured on a national advertising campaign for Chevrolet.
Dirty District Vol. 3 is highlighted by appearances from Slum Villages Baatin, a special DJ Scrapdirty Slum Village mix with unreleased Jay Dee slum remix material, Planet Asia, Frank N Dank, Phat Kat, Black Milk, Aftermath Records Bishop Lamont, Proof of D-12, Detroit soul sensation Dwele and a surprise guest appearances from Al Hudson of One Way & RJs latest Arrival.
