Biography:
An imposing figure with a voice to match, Slim Thug had been dropping in for guest verses -- on mixtapes and other artists` albums -- for several years before making his full-length debut through the Neptunes` Star Trak label. Based out of the northern part of Houston, the MC fell in with Swisha House`s Michael Watts and established a following in short time, which had a lot to do with his business instincts -- mixtapes released on his own Boss Hogg Outlawz label circulated throughout the region. (He also acquired a couple record stores and became involved with real estate.) Already Platinum, distributed by Geffen, sustained several release-date delays before its July 2005 street date, and featured production work from the Neptunes and Jazze Pha.
