Slimm Goines started writing rhymes when he was 11, but It wasn't until he hooked up with Ruff Rhyme Records that he started getting serious. As a member of hardcore rap group MAGNUM, recorded a few underground tapes before starting a solo career. He released his first single as a solo artist, Insomnia b/w The Other Man, in '98.Have you performed in front of an audience?I LOVE performing. I don't have any specific favorite moments. I just dig it when the crowd and I are in a rhythm.
Your musical influences
My musical influences range from Rakim to Johnny Cash. I mean we're talking Sam Cook, Mozart and Melle Mel. I have listened to A Tribe Called Quest and the Beatles in the same hour. I like Hendrix's flair, Dylan's lyricism, Rakim's flow and turn of phrase, John Lennon's charisma, James Brown's showmanship, and Jay-Z's swagger.What equipment do you use?
Pad and pencil or penAnything else?
I stopped giving shout outs. I know and love a lot of people. If you know me and you know we cool, you know where the love is at. If you know me and we not cool, fuck it, you can get props too. I'm feelin' adult.Washington DC rap
