When it comes to performing, Slim Rig is all about energy, and the more energy he brings to his songs, the more energy the crowd feels and reciprocates back.
Role of rap music in raising awareness
Slim Rig believes that rap music can play a significant role in raising awareness and addressing social issues. For him, he wants to be a voice for someone dealing with depression, struggling with motivation, or just looking for a reason to get out of bed every day.

Slim Rig’s creative process involves constantly freestyling and creating flows in his head, and when he finds the right beat, it’s like a puzzle putting everything together.
