With over 1 Million views on World Star, 17th Slugz is definitely one to watch.
A lot of the Kentucky rapper’s inspiration to pursue music comes from his father and daughter. Their love for it made it apparent to 17th Slugz to take the route of an artist over being in the streets. With just a few singles under his belt, the rapper is preparing to release new music. He recently shared his single titled “Messy”, which follows up the release of “Where I’m From”. These hard hitting records are examples of the rawness portrayed in the Louisville representer’s music, drawn from his own life experiences.
In just a short span in his career, the rapper has already worked alongside the likes of Beatmonster Marc, Yung Lan, Jose Guapo, and Lil Flip. He’s even auditioned for Irv Gotti and BET, so 17th Slugz is no stranger to the spotlight.
One thing his fans can all agree on, that 17th Slugz is up next.
