Rapper/Producer Slim Chance has been building a name for himself on the underground scene for the last couple of years. Slim’s hard work paid off last year when he was able to produce a track for Camron. Although the track didn’t make Crime Pays it was well received on the internet.
The Rochester, New York native has a mixtape dropping soon and a compilation coming out later this year. Let’s get to know Slim Chance…
