Houston rapper Slim Thug recently announced that he is cutting ties with Interscope/Star Trak Records.MTV reports that Slim Thug approached the bosses at Interscope/Star Trak to express his issues with the labels and asked for his release. He expressed complaints about the constant turnover of employees and he felt his debut album “Already Platinum” wasn’t handled properly.According to the rapper, the bosses heard his pleas and he will be a free agent by the end of this week and insists there are no hard feelings between either parties.”I sat down with the general manager. Really, I just sat down and told them, ‘Y’all over here don’t understand the type of music I do, and y’all hold me back while y’all trying to get your situation together. I ain’t really got that time to sit on the sideline while you do this. Let me pay y’all. Y’all gave me all this money. Listen, I’ll give y’all some money off the new album.’” He continued, “I just can’t sit on the sideline while they do their sh*t. He sat down with [Interscope Chairman] Jimmy [Iovine], and we all came up with something we could all agree with. It ain’t no hard feelings.” As we have said time and time again at Hiphopspy all these labels are going under and folding. A rapper staying independent will make out better.Slim is now preparing to release a project with his group The Boss Hogg Outlwaz via Koch Records. He will then release his second album titled “Boss Of All Bosses” in the late summer.”It’s gonna be different. You gonna hear a lot more Houston records,” Slim said of his sophomore solo project. “The feedback I got from my fans [about the] last album was that they wanted to hear a lot more Houston records. So I worked with people out of Houston, a bunch of producers I came up with. I did, like, 30 songs with these cats, so I really got the album done. I’m gonna get, like, two from Pharrell [Williams] and maybe work with a few other big producers, but keep it Houston.”
