Hard hitting club bangers that touch on things everyone can relate to. Pittsburgh Slim is for people who just want to have a good time no matter the time, day or place.
































Hip-hop stories never begin in Pittsburgh.

They also rarely involve stories featuring both Jay-Z and Nirvana. And, while were at it, its rare that Penthouse models, underground mash-up tapes, mid-90s Bronx rappers Camp Lo and New Wave geeks Devo all coalesce in one persons background.

So, meet Pittsburgh Slim. Hes different. And hes different at a time when the music industry could really, really use something special and unique. And fun.

Pittsburgh Slim–named after legendary pimp/author Iceberg Slim, as referenced in Jay-Zs Kingdom Come (Wheres Iceberg Slim/he was the coldest cat…;)–was always an anomaly. He rocked the 412, literally. Growing up in the Steel City, Slim had a duel career going, rapping from the age of 12 on…and playing guitar in a variety of post-punk bands, all indebted to the warped noise assaults of Nirvana and Jesus Lizard.

Slim had no problems meshing his two worlds. Apparently, the music world didnt either, as his first group became the burghs go-to opening act for some of raps biggest names, including Jurassic 5, Nelly, 50 Cent and Ludacris. When they hit town to play the Pavilion or the Arena, Slim and his crew were inevitably the opening act. They even had a local hit or two - songs that somehow got play on alternative, rock and urban radio.

Slim wasnt doing what everyone was doing. He was, in his words, mixing 80s pop, some rock n'roll flavor, and hip-hop beats. His reference points ranged from Camp Lo to Devo, from Nirvana to Rihanna. In a way, Im kind of like a mash-up artist, he says. This isnt traditional in any sense. He laughs. I can rap over a Yaz song or a lunch room table beat.

One song you may already know is “Girls Kiss Girls.” It’s the one that caught Jay-Z's ears - and its hard not to hear why, given the songs relatively simple but brilliant concept, its infectious electro-pop beat and, well, Slim himself, who turns what could be something crass into something funny, sexy and, for lack of better description, “I-can’t-get-this-chorus-out-of-my-head.

That song is the culmination of my years of rapping…and watching Internet porn, Slim says. Look, I could date a girl who lives in Soho, a Suicide Girl, or an Eryka Badu coffeeshop type. I’m not a douche bag. I just had this great idea for a song, thats all, and I knew where I wanted it to go.

So, in the end, who is Pittsburgh Slim? There’s no real comparison, but the rapper offers up one thought.I think my shit will hit across the board, he says. Theres very few artists out with that appeal, but I think I can accomplish that, too.
