Bio
New York based rap artist Slimchance is excited to announce the June 2009
release of his new album, "Prince of the City." With seven years of
recording and performing experience under his belt and a good dose of
talent backed by passion and drive, Slimchance promises to deliver nothing
less than an experience in rhythm and rhyme to his fans.
Kevin L. Taylor, a.k.a. Slimchance was born in Queens, New York in an area
known as Jamaica Queens! He became a fan of rap early on and started his
rocketing career with inspiration from rap heroes like Biz Markie; he loved
singing Markie's hit "Just a Friend." Taylor developed the obsession it
takes for an artist to turn a dream into reality and began writing songs at
the tender age of twelve. As he matured both as man and artist he began
focusing on writing universal songs relatable to everyone and started
recording them on a Radio Shack microphone and hand held recorder, earning
respect for his energy and hustle. As he took baby steps towards his dream,
some said it would remain just that; a dream where he had a slim chance of
breaking into the world of hip-hop and rap. In a defiant gesture symbolic
of who he is as a person and artist, Taylor decided to call himself
Slimchance.
As professionals do, Taylor then turned his attention away from any
negativity and focused on mastering his craft. With his eyes constantly on
the prize, he created low budget mixes, his own record label, "Reellyfe
Entertainment," and built a local buzz that has grown into his present
fanbase of roughly 60,000.
Slimchance currently boasts airplay online as well as FM radio's Power
105.1 in New York. While proactively working towards bigger and better
performance goals, he hones his skills and builds his fan base at local at
open mics. He's caught the eye of the press and was recently interviewed
for the March 31, 2009 release of Rap Solution Magazine. His first release,
"Diary of An Unknown Hustler" has been downloaded 23,000 times and the
number continues to climb.
Next up for Slimchance is a college promotion tour of New York,
Connecticut, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Keep an eye out for this talented
artist if you're in that area.
