Slim Thug not happy with Major Debut

And rightly so. After signing with Star Trak with Geffen Records in 2005 Slim Thug’s album, Already Platinum, only made it Gold in sales.

“I thought it should have went way farther,” he told MTV. “I was an independent artist that did all the work myself. Once I signed a major deal, I kind of felt like, ‘I’m signed to a major label, oh, they gonna do all the work now.’ But this album I’m gonna work it myself first, I’m gonna do all the work as if they don’t exist and whatever they bring to the table, cool.”

“It’s gonna be different,” Slim said in regards to his followup, which has been changed from being called Still Platinum to Boss Of All Bosses.

“You gonna hear a lot more Houston records. The feedback I got from my fans [about the] last album was that they wanted to hear a lot more Houston records. So I worked with people out of Houston, a bunch of producers I came up with. I did like 30 songs with these cats, so I really got the album done. I’m gonna get, like, two from Pharrell and maybe work with a few other big producers, but keep it Houston.”

Look out for this one next Feb or March.
