The following summer Sly moved to California to work as a GE Security consultant and continue to promote his music. After receiving positive feedback from family and friends, Sly began to seriously consider rapping as a viable way to make a living.
In the summer of 2008 Sly met Ryan Gourley and Steel Skhi of Subliminal Productions LLC (SP), a local music company that records and produces beats. With the help of SP, Sly recorded his debut album, “States of Mind” in 2008. Sly’s sophomore album, “T.H.A.B.I.T.” (“The Habit”) was released in 2009 along with a collection of mix-tapes. Hundreds of free CDs have been handed out to family, friends, and friends of friends. Sly has performed at several local venues including the Iliff Park Saloon in Aurora, Colorado in which he performed with other local artists for an eager crowd that was yearning for more at the end of Sly’s performance.
Sly writes all of his material and gets a majority of his beats from Subliminal Productions. He has been compared to artists such as Tech N9ne, E-40, and Ludacris. Though Sly is currently a student at Mesa State University, he continues to devote his free time to his music.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
7 O'clock Be ready. I want you to get sexy
You got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show you off, that's right
8 O'clock she ready
I told her to get sexy
She got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show her off, that's right
If I ever lose you, might as well lose my heart
You my engine lil' mama without you I can't start
If you hear me speaking clearly
Love you dearly want you near me
Got them thangs in the trunk that don't make my heart thump
Like it do when I know I'm 'bout to see you
Looking good looking great
Got me thinking 'bout peaches even though I just ate
Anything on the planet you can have it, granted you stay
Forever starts today
This is just a couple things on my mind
Lets discuss it over wine
7 O'clock Be ready
I want you to get sexy
You got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show you off, that's right
8 O'clock she ready
I told her to get sexy
She got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show her off, that's right
Doing too much, story of our life
Not enough love creates too much strife
Who care what yo' friend say? This love ain't hers
I'm your vroom vroom and you my curves
Wanna hug you hard but I never wanna crush ya
So many walls that it's hard for me to touch ya
The world broke your heart so you made something beautiful
French tips and manicured cuticles
I wish someone showed you more love when you was young
So you could understand where I'm coming from
These are just a couple things on my mind
I'm running early make it 6:45
7 O'clock Be ready
I want you to get sexy
You got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show you off, that's right
8 O'clock she ready
I told her to get sexy
She got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show her off, that's right
On the hunt for your love; didn't bring a gun
The closer I get to you the more you wanna run
But let me fall back I don't wanna suffocate ya
Showing love is just a part of my nature
I'll be right here when you need me
Life give it to you rough take it easy
Never wanna do you harm, enough of that was done
You follow your heart so you know where I'm coming from
This the night we been waitin' on
I'ma take you on the ride of your life
So buckle up tight
We cleared for flight
7 O'clock Be ready
I want you to get sexy
You got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show you off, that's right
8 O'clock she ready
I told her to get sexy
She got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show her off, that's right
7 O'clock Be ready
I want you to get sexy
You got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show you off, that's right
8 O'clock she ready
I told her to get sexy
She got a date wit' a boss tonight
I'ma show her off, that's right
