West Coast rapper Slim 400 was shot eight times earlier this summer during a drive-by in Compton. Thankfully, after several surgeries, he pulled through.
Today, he’s back with the release of his first song since, “Shake Back,” which features Young Dolph and was recorded within 24 hours of getting out of the hospital. The artwork features a gravestone with his date of birth and the day he was shot crossed out.
“Went straight from the hospital to the studio, listened to two beats, hop’d on the second track, played some dark shit from Lil Cyko, laid my verse 2-4 bars at a time,” Slim told Complex. “The next day pulled up on Young Dolph. He had DM’d me after Nipsey (Hussle) passed, saying be safe on some RNS. I felt he been thru it, I been thru it and out of that came ‘Shake Back!'”
