A new single from Slim (of 112) called “Don’t It Feel Good” featuring Maino has just leaked and made it’s way into my inbox. Slim’s voice has always stood out to me and most people slept on his last cd. “Love’s Crazy,” which was way better than I thought it would be. I think this new song is from Slim’s upcoming project “Cruise Control” which is currently in development.
Vibe Magazine’s VSessions LIVE! hit Atlanta last night. The event, hosted by Kenny Burns featured DJ Don Cannon on the 1’s and 2’s and brought several celebrity supporters out to The Loft to showcase up and coming artists.
“The whole VSessions was created to pass the torch in a way to other artists,” says Burns. “You have Disturbing the Peace, Asylum and Warner Brothers artists — it’s about showcasing the talent that’s emerging on the scene today. This [is] where the music is really happening,” he says. “All of the music is coming out of Atlanta, all of the singers, producers and songwriters. Athletes are moving here during the off-season and making their permanent home, so the shoe fits.”
Disturbing Tha Peace’s Rudy Currence, singer/songwriter Julie Dexter, Warner Records’ Teairra Mari and Grand Hustle’s Yung LA were the featured performers but Ludacris, Slim (of 112), Yung Joc, American Yard and more were spotted at the event. Check out a few photos below:
So THIS is the outfit everyone’s clowning tonight? Looks like a yeast infection waiting to happen *sigh* ~ ATLien
I’ve actually always liked Teairra Mari and I heard she put it down last night! I’m so upset that I couldn’t make it out but Twitter came to my rescue with a few entertaining play by plays:
Philip’s Arena was jumping last night as the Swagger Like Us tour hit the “A.” Shawty Lo, Ludacris, Young Jeezy, T.I. and Shawty Lo all hit the stage for a legendary A-town performance. Plies, who was also on the bill, was reportedly a “no show” and my girl Monica was spotted backstage looking fabulous as usual, sporting a different look. Love it! Flix below:

Slim was gettin his sexy on during the filming of his latest video for “Heels On” which features Ron Brownz and Deezbo. I dunno but…it looks like Slim was enjoying this shoot a lil bit toooo much. Can’t wait to see the video!
I so sorry y’all…I’ve been holding on to this Slim of 112 interview for about 2 weeks now. *sigh* I admit it…I suck! But he and I had a lil sit down at The Grape in Atlantic Station (mmmmm Muscato!) and we chopped it up for a while. Slim’s new CD “Love’s Crazy” is on heavy rotation on the “A” pod and “So Fly” is my dayum personal theme song. He’s such a cool dude and is definitely Straight from the A…Cleveland Ave to be exact!
Slim has come a long way from the lead singer of 112. He has his own record label and now he’s calling the shots. Although he kind of disappointed me when he told me that he doesn’t speak to any of his former group members, he did say he has no ill feelings towards any of them and he’s sure they’re all doing big things.
I jumped on TWITTER and asked my followers if they had any questions for him:
babajee@ATLien question for slim: when did you realize that your unique voice, could possibly get you a record deal?
wmicahw@ATLien didn’t know he was that close with faith evans until reading her book, what are his thoughts on “notorious” n the bad boy situation
pooda@ATLien would he consider a collab w Keri Hilson? I think their voices would mesh well
Slim answered just about everything and he held nothing back. (BTW…he’s not on twitter yet, but I’m working on it!) He talked at length about his feelings about being on Bad Boy, Diddy’s involvement in the group’s success and we even touched on his love life. Slim also revealed that that the “Heels On” (Remix) feat. Deezbo and Ron Browz is getting mad love these days on the airwaves.
Check out the full videotaped interview and also listen to the “Heels on” remix under the cut: (more…)
Slim of 112 recently shot the video in Atlanta for his next single for his solo album “Loves Crazy”, which is in stores now. The new song is called Apologize and Slim is shown in the video serenading us in front of an all female band. Great concept for this smooth ballad!
