Solo lyricist and part-time member of Detroit underground hip-hop mainstays Slum Village, Elzhi takes on 16 hard-hitting loop-heavy tracks on THE PREFACE. Almost entirely produced by Black Milk, THE PREFACE sees the Motown lyricist holding his own beside Royce 5'9", Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson, Fat Ray, and A.B., among others.
