Audio: Slimelife Shawty – “Where’s The Love“

The Atlanta Native Shares the Latest Preview of His Upcoming Better Livin Project, Due Next Month via Alamo Records

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 Announcement:

Rhyming with raw nerve emotionalism and infectious melodies, Slimelife Shawty is deeply attuned to the beating heart of the streets. Today, Slimelife Shawty shares “Where’s The Love,“ a plaintive and melodic new single. Opening with a mix of pianos and mournful violins, “Where’s The Love” immediately deposits the listener in Slimelife’s headspace, one haunted by paranoia and loss, but not devoid of hope. The song finds Slimelife reflecting on all he’s done for the streets and wondering why he’s not getting the recognition he deserves.

“Where’s The Love” will appear on Better Livin, the Atlanta native’s upcoming project. The 22-year-old artist has been teasing out Better Livin over the past few months by releasing a string of high-quality video singles, including last month’s “Still At It,” the powerful “Slatt Bizness” (over 1.3 million views since its early August release), and the poignant “Baby Boy,” which has over 2.1 million YouTube views since its release in May.

Earlier this year, Slimelife shared the 42 Dugg-featuring remix to “Don’t Worry (Clappers),” his biggest hit to date with over 15 million streams across platforms. Last year, the Alamo Records signee released No Slime Left Behind, a full-length project, and made noise with his street hit “All Summer” (2.6 million YouTube views). Slimelife signee showed off his performance chops this summer, performing an electrifying set at Rolling Loud Miami in July.

With a knack for emotional honesty that earned him co-signs from heavy-hitters like Young Thug, Lil Baby, and Lil Durk, who gifted him an OTF chain that he wears in the “Still At It” video, Slimelife Shawty is looking to level up with the upcoming Better Livin. Stay tuned.

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, No Slime Left Behind, came out in May 2020.
