Video: Slimelife Shawty – “Big Biznezz“

The Alamo Records Signee Puts His Money Where His Mouth Is in His First New Single of 2022

Critical Praise:

“Atlanta rapper Slimelife Shawty has been building his catalog over the last couple of years, earning attention from Young Thug, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and more. Associating himself with several of the city’s strongest forces, it’s not hard to see why he’s been rising so quickly. The budding star is seemingly one project away from being recognized as one of Atlanta’s top talents.” – HotNewHipHop

“Slimelife Shawty became a staple of Atlanta’s bubbling underground after appearing on early Lil Keed standouts like ‘Blicky Blicky’ in 2018. Since then, he’s been moving with remarkable consistency, gaining traction with anthemic songs like ‘Don’t Worry.'” – DJ Booth

The Video:

One of the hottest rising rappers out of Atlanta, Slimelife Shawty built a name and a loyal following with his raw, diaristic lyricism and candid melodies. Returning in explosive fashion to stack his paper and demolish his haters, Slime shares the video for “Big Biznezz,” his new single and first release of 2022. The sinister slice of street music finds a charged up Slimelife attacking a frenetic trap instrumental, courtesy of Hocus, Vaze, and Ellis Lost, with the money-motivated urgency of an ATL hustler.

The Diesel Filmz-directed, Jay Kastle-edited “Big Biznezz” video sees the Alamo Records signee creeping through corridors, studios, and the nighttime streets of Atlanta, while he keeps his hands full with the stick or a stack. Rocking an iced-out OTF chain, which he received from his mentor Lil Durk, Slimelife reflects on the life before the money and the grind required to count it up like he does now, rapping, “Used to rock the backseat, now I rock this jewelry now/Used to talk but that’s cheap, they pay me for my service now.”

“Big Biznezz” arrives as Slimelife’s first release since his October 2021 album, Better Living. Executive- produced by Lil Durk, <em is a deeply sincere document from one of Atlanta’s most promising young rappers, offering head-knocking bangers and heartfelt ballads in equal measure. The new full-length is home to several popular singles that tore up ATL in 2021 including “Suit Me Up,” with a guest appearance from Lil Durk, and street-successful singles like the powerful “Slatt Bizness” (3.5 million YouTube views), the determined “Baby Boy” (3.8 million views), and the triumphant “No Brakes” (3.5 million views). Featuring additional appearances from Future and Jackboy, Better Living is available everywhere via Alamo Records.

With a knack for emotional honesty that earned him co-signs from heavy-hitters like Young Thug, Lil Baby, and Lil Durk, Slimelife Shawty is ready to reach the next level. Stay tuned for more from the Alamo Records artist as 2022 rolls on.

The Background:

Slimelife Shawty is one of the most promising young voices out of Atlanta, Georgia. Inspired by hometown hero, Young Thug, the 21-year-old has found success with his Southern-twanged, pain-stained lyrics paired with melodic undertones. In 2018, Shawty assisted Lil Keed’s “Blicky Blicky,” which erupted in the Atlanta streets and drew attention to the rising lyricist. Boasting cosigns from the likes of Thug, Keed and YNW JGreen, Shawty stepped confidently into more solo success. In 2019, with his 12-track EP, 100 Reasons, and songs like “Bankroll” and “40 Bars, he amplified his smooth wordplay and shares his story with the world. Fueled by his street hit “Clappers,” Slimelife continues to gain recognition for his undeniable talent and rise to unprecedented heights. His latest project, Better Living, came out in 2021.
