Slim Thug, born Stayve Jerome Thomas, is a towering figure in the world of Southern hip-hop, hailing from Houston, Texas. Standing at an impressive 6'6", his stage name is a nod to his lanky teenage frame and the tough image he cultivated with his signature cornrows and sunglasses.

His debut album, "Already Platinum," released in 2005, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, showcasing his unique blend of crunk and Southern hip-hop. With a career spanning over two decades, Slim Thug has not only left his mark on the music industry but also inspired others, with his life story serving as the inspiration for Lupe Fiasco's song "Hip Hop Saved My Life." Beyond his music, Slim Thug is also known for his entrepreneurial spirit and his significant online presence, where he engages with fans and shares exclusive content.
