Slim Thug - Already Platinum

Possessed of a potent drawl leaving no doubt that he means what he says, Houston rapper Slim Thug rose through the mix-tape underground to a major-label deal with Geffen Records. His debut boasts production work from some of the best in the game, including the Neptunes, Jazzy Pha, and Cool & Dre. With friends like these, little can go wrong, and little does on ALREADY PLATINUM, an album that backs up its boastful title with powerful raps and innovative beats.

On "I Ain't Heard of That," Slim proclaims himself the "rookie of the year" over a classic Neptunes beat, as he and cohort Bun B tell stories of their prowess in sports and pimping. Slim Thug's vocals flow steady, perfectly matching the beats--whether on the screwed-up, low-down bass of "Diamonds" or the blaxploitation-era soul of "Incredible Feelin'." "3 Kings" and "Ashy to Classy" serve as reminders that higher production values and street edge are far from mutually exclusive.
