Another ingredient to Slim’s formula for success includes churning out new music consistently. He’s currently working on a new album titled HoggLife with a TBD release date. 2 Chainz and Drake are two names that come to mind when Slim thinks of potential collaborators as well as members of his Boss Hogg Outlawz family.

Boss Hogg

These three work together, as a unit, for true music junkies. And that’s because each one triggers your music senses individually.

How the Texan stars hold down the throne T

here’s no reason at all why Mug, Le$ and Dre Day have to worry about the next man. These three gentlemen individually, but collectively (does that make any sense at all?) have the south and west coast hip-hop realm clutched in the palm of their hands. From furious bars to switching it up with melodic flows on old school, west coast and original beats, the 2012 Boss Hogg Outlawz are set-in-stone set to sail the high waves of success, and I’m calling it first (I think). Of course, Slim Thug’s Boss Hogg team and the whole Swisha House Movement in general have been around for a while now creating hit-makers. And I don’t want to take it too far and say it’s been a revolving door over there…BUT Slim and BHO have found a way to incorporate

and bring to light talented rappers with substance and a great support system. YET each artist STILL gets the privilege of holding down their own self-image and blossom musically they way they want to.

Dre Day

From tracks the up-and-coming O.G.’s

“We’re growing with the times.” – DreDay can play in the slab (Bang – Mug, Slim Thug and Le$), to that cool s*** the homie can play while kicking it with a nice lil’ dip (Illest – Le$...nice headtipper, remixed over the classic ‘I Got 5 On It’ beat), to dope features on tracks with amazing lyricists (i.e. Big K.R.I.T. on ‘Grippin Grain’, Killa Kyleon and Bun-B on Dre-Day ‘s hit “Bulls & Stallions”).
