Welcome 2 Detroit is the 2001 debut solo album from Slum Village producer J Dilla (aka Jay Dee). The album followed the group’s critically acclaimed Fantastic, Vol. 2, and kicked off BBE’s “Beat Generation” series (producer-driven albums).
As the title suggests Welcome 2 Detroit is a showcase of the talent from J Dilla’s hometown, introducing a pre-Slum Village Elzhi on the song “Come Get It”, and making room for his longtime 1st Down partner Phat Kat on the appropriately titled “Featuring Phat Kat”.
