[HIP HOP] Last week rapper Slim Jesus set fire to a record contract on Instagram. The rapper, who was born in 1997 and hails from Hamilton, Ohio, has racked up 16 million views on his “Drill Time” music video, which was released in August. Why would he need a record contract? Certainly, for Slim Jesus, there’s no going back from such a grand gesture now, but he’s done well enough without the help of a record label so far, mostly due to the video for “Drill Time,” which was shot in a garage. The 18-year-old rapper raps a big game—guns, drugs, and hoes are his primary subject—causing critics to ask questions, like “do you actually live that life?” His response: No, but some of his friends do. He may look like a mini-Eminem and sound like Chief Keef, but Slim Jesus doesn’t seem to care about any of that. He’s just trying to keep his pockets heavy. Slim Jesus comes to the Studio at the Waiting Room on Sunday, December 6.
