If there is an artist to follow, Slim 400 is the way to go. He released his album “BompTTon” February 5th. The 30 minute album consists of 12 songs that keep the listener’s head bumping. His album makes listeners have a combination of feelings of wanting to dance, hang out with your friends and do hoodrat shit.
400’s tracklist has that memorable LA sound. Songs that get a person turnt up and songs that you can picture dancing to in a club. Most of his songs consist of memorable lines that if you saw Slim 400 live, you would be singing out the lyrics from the top of your lungs.
As much as the album consists of dance-able headbanging songs, Slim 400 also touches up on police brutality in his 10th track song, Police the Enemy, featuring the Desert Baby. One of the lines of the song that caught my attention is “whoever ain’t feeling it, you ain’t my f***** people b****”. The song discusses injustices that continue to happen to the Black community.
All 12 songs have a feature that adds a spice of flavor to Slim 400’s sound. One of my favorite features is Peryon J Kee in Purple Sprite, because he managed to take Nate Dogg’s sound in Snoop Dogg’s, Ain’t No Fun, and make it his own. He manages to do that while keeping Nate Dogg’s famous line “cuz I have never met a girl that I loved in the whole wide world”. A bold move from both artists that executed it very well.
Some of my favorite songs are: I’ll Wait, Nothing but Bloods, Jackboy and Purple Sprite.
