Slim Thug, born Stayve Jerome Thomas on September 8, 1980, is a prominent figure in the Houston rap scene, known for his deep, gravelly voice and laid-back delivery. Emerging into the mainstream with his 2005 hit single "Still Tippin'" alongside Mike Jones and Paul Wall, Slim Thug quickly established himself as a formidable presence in the hip-hop world. His debut album "Already Platinum," released the same year, lived up to its name by presenting a sound that resonated with the Dirty South's growing prominence in the music industry.

Entering the industry through independent mixtapes in the late 90s, Slim Thug's career has spanned over two decades, characterized by consistent evolution while staying true to his H-Town roots. His notable releases include "Boss of All Bosses" in 2009, and 2015's "Hogg Life" series that further cemented his status as Houston royalty. The rapper has not shied away from collaboration, working with heavyweights like Beyoncé on the track "Check on It" and Gwen Stefani's "Luxurious." Despite experiencing what he termed a "Midlife Crisis" in his 2020 album, Slim Thug maintains a prolific output with a series of releases that combine his seasoned swagger with reflections on maturity, like "THUG LIFE," and "The World Is Yours." With "King of the Nawf," he reasserts his dominance in the Southern rap game, blending his classic stylings with the ever-evolving landscape of modern hip-hop.
