You gotta sell yourself and if you’re any good, your craft will follow. You have to create a compelling impact -- it’s all about the hustle and dedication to music.” Slate has toured with Mike Jones, Bo Hagen, Ying-Yang Twins and Paul Wall, to name a few. With his influences ranging from Notorious BIG and Common, to Black Thought and Jay-Z, it’s no wonder this producer turned rapper is primed for the big-time.
