If you think that you read the article title wrong, you didn’t. Slim Thug dropped his new album “Hogg Life: The Beginning” at the beginning of the month and that’s just the start for his big year in 2015. Our TapSongz Team had the opportunity to interview the veteran rapper to learn more about the new project and what else he has in store.
Slim Thug’s path to fame is an interesting one. It didn’t start when he was four. His parents weren’t famous. He simply began at the age of 17 with a whole lot of drive. “I started rapping in high school doing the underground scene and creating mixtapes,” Slim Thug told our TapSongz Team. He eventually got a deal in 2004 with Pharrell and signed to Star Trak Entertainment and Interscope Records. “It was cool man, really dope working and touring with him.” Since then, Slim Thug has released a variety of projects, including his hit single “I Run” which has accrued over 12 million views on YouTube! When asked how his music has transformed since his early rapping, Slim Thug says he’s “the same rapper.” The only thing that has changed for the hip-hop artist is the stage and spotlight that he now receives after such a successful run in the industry.
Slim Thug dropped a brand new album “Hogg Life: The Beginning” consisting of 14 tracks and a wealth of different artists featured in the project. The album is the first of FOUR that Slim Thug will be releasing in 2015. Gluck and BDon did all of the production for the first album. Slim Thug loved how the project turned out and said his favorite song is “All I Know”, which features Propain. “There are documentaries attached to the albums. It breaks down how I got started in my career, from when I was growing up and you can see exactly how I got into the game,” Slim Thug said. The second album, produced by Mr. Lee, is finished and will be potentially released in April. Slim Thug plans to release the albums about every other month and thinks his fans will enjoy all of the new music. The third album is produced by Big K.R.I.T. and the fourth album will have a variety of producers.
When looking back, Slim Thug acknowledges how important the track “I Run” was for launching his career back in 2009. “It was definitely a dope time. It’s the biggest song of mine and I loved it from the beginning. It was back when I decided to go back to being independent.” In 2015, Slim Thug looks forward to dropping the remaining three albums and plans to tour after the release of the second and fourth albums later this year.
