Slim Thug's debut album, Already Platinum, was released on July 12, 2005. It features the singles "Like a Boss", "Three Kings", "I Ain't Heard Of That", and "Incredible Feeling". The album debuted at #2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart. His second album, Boss of All Bosses, was released in 2009.
Slim Thug has had some success with his mixtape releases. He has proclaimed himself the "Big Boss of the South", referring to the U.S. south, and the "Big Boss of the North", referring to North Houston, Texas, the neighborhood where he grew up.
As of July 22, 2005, he is dating Letoya Luckett, former member of Destiny's Child.
In 2005, he also appeared in a remix of the song "Luxurious" by Gwen Stefani, and Check On It by Beyoncé.
Slim says that his rap name comes from the fact that as a teenager, he was very tall and lanky before he filled out. He stands 6'6" tall. The Thug part comes from people's assumptions of him due to his braids and sunglasses.

Slim Thugger, got plex, I got the answer for that baby
(fuck who you are nigga, Boss Hogg gon fade em all)
Boss Hogg Outlawz, top dog

(shit fin to get crucial dog, I'm telling y'all to strap up)
(Slim Thug)
Welcome home, to the place where the haters and snakes roam
They smile in your face, but talk down when you gone
Don't get me wrong, my city got real playas and thugs
That act bad in clubs, and show nothing but love
But at the same time, a lot of niggaz out to compete
And when they see they getting beat, they start having beef
For example, for those out there that don't know
I'm bout to wreck this lil' hoe, by the name of Lil' Yo
Can't forget Young Capo, J-Dog and Big Pic
You all some hoes, J.D. I can't forget about you bitch
All of the above, been hating on me
I know a lot of my fans been waiting on me, but they won't
Shut em down, show them haters who holding the ground
Fa sho, you know Slim Thug holding it down
Y'all just give me any chance, for shining in the rap game
It's like you committed suicide, when you hate on my name
Attention I bring, got you niggaz flinching in pain
I might take it easy on you, if you plead insane
I'm changing the game, real ranges some thangs
Just like I gave you street fame, I'ma take your street fame
You can't claim North Star, if you ain't Slim Thug
Cause I'm the only nigga out of y'all, that's all the above
Fuck showing love, I got plex
I'm the one Big Ballin' Big Pic call next, uh
But as we speak, the Boss got the streets on lock
And with all this bad attention, I got the heat on cock
No more roaming a couple miles, I'ma dismantle your guys
When the Boss drop, your career gon stop that's no lie nigga
(fuck who you are nigga, Boss Hogg gon fade em all
Shit fin to get crucial dog, I'm telling y'all to strap up
Outlawz on the rise man, and a bunch of niggaz gon die man
Hot cause we roll better mayn, when I'm out I'm getting paid) - 4x
In "Got Plex," Slim Thug lays out his thoughts on the competitiveness that exists within the hip-hop scene. He welcomes listeners to his city, Houston, where there are plenty of "playas and thugs" who show love to one another. However, at the same time, there are those who compete with each other and start beef when they feel like they're losing. Slim Thug addresses several rappers by name, accusing them of hating on him and trying to take him down. He asserts that he's the only one who can claim the title of North Star, a reference to the Northside of Houston where he grew up. Slim Thug declares that he's changing the rap game and bringing attention to himself, which makes his rivals flinch in pain. He also warns his enemies to "strap up" because things are about to get critical.
This song is essentially a diss track directed at various Houston rappers, including Lil' Yo (who Slim Thug accuses of biting his style), Young Capo, J-Dog, and Big Pic. Slim Thug calls them "all some hoes" and suggests that they're conspiring against him. The chorus repeats the phrase "fuck who you are nigga, Boss Hogg gon fade em all," which implies that Slim Thug and his crew, Boss Hogg Outlawz, will emerge as the victors in any conflict.
