The DMV Daily Interviews: Slim D

Slim D With Slim LivengoodLivin

    3 things y’all don’t know about me?

1.)  I prefer music over tv unless it’s sports, or anime but ironically I wanna get into acting later down the line.

2.) I was originally born in Virginia, & lived in like 4 other states besides that but I’m of African decent, Sierra Leone to be exact!

3.) People know me as Daryl S. Pratt or SLiM D but another name I go by is Kojo which in Africa means born on Monday

Describe yourself in 5 words? :

1.)Organic

2.)Spontaneous

3.)Nonchalant

4.)Musical genius (even though that’s 2)

5.) Vibrant

Favorite pre studio traditions ?

Nothing too crazy, but always gota eat before the studio session hate working on an empty stomach because I’ll just be thinking about the next meal. Go  have a bottle of water or ginger ale on deck at all times those  are the keys to life stay hydrated. Bump the instrumental about 2-3 times while tryna find the flow pattern to get the perfect feel of how I’m going to approach the track.

5 Biggest musical influences?

1.)J.Cole off jump he is the truth point blank

2.)Biggie/Pac for the mere fact that I can’t choose one they both the goat in my eyes.

3.)Erykah Badu her music puts me in a good mood nothing but vibes.

4.)Wale definitely, that man don’t get enough credit unfortunately more about nothing is a classic &

5.)Lil Wayne, Won’t stunt I was a Wayne head all through middle school up to 10th grade,  BIRDMAN PAY THAT MAN HIS MONEY !

Define the music industry

I’d define the music industry right now as a high school jungle, I say jungle simply because it’s wild, and you can get ate alive at any time, stay on your toes because everyone is out to achieve the same thing & will do just about anything to get it. I say high school because a lot of the times it’s a popularity contest & even though the smart kids get good grades & high test scores they get overlooked while the cool kids still get glorified for what they got & can buy.

Artist and media personalities you’d like to work with?

Id like to be interview by Sway he seems pretty down to earth (even tho he don’t got all the answers).

Definitely the whole daily struggle cast mainly for Joe Budden, because why has he had me blocked on twitter since 2016 ? what’s the problem Joe?

Viceland as well I like how they do business.

Definitely can’t forget Rap genius! Because I feel as though a lot of my bars go over people heads, I’d like to break it down for y’all.

And any other media outlets in the DMV area.

S/O ?

I’ll keep it brief S/O the Man up stairs puttin me in position to win always, s/o my mother for just being an amazing roll model, S/O F.A.S.TRecordsEnt we coming for y’all necks believe that ! , & s/o every single person who ever supported me in anyway, even y’all reading this now I appreciate y’all straight up.
