Published

on

Producer and multi-instrumentalist SLMN (pr. SOLOMON) is back with his latest offering “Where Did You Go” with Kvn Rose ft. anders. The new track is an upbeat anthem that arrives just in time for summer. “Where Did You Go” is definitely something that anyone can vibe to, as SLMN combines upbeat drums and melodic R&B notes to create a memorable, fun song that is surely a standout in his current catalogue. His sound as a producer is soulful and drum heavy, creating ideal sound settings for artists to make melodically expressive music.

“As a kid, I was heavily influenced by the style and melodies as my uncle played the Middle Eastern instrumental called the oud,” SLMN says.

The Toronto-based producer, who’s signed to Sony Music Publishing, is someone who focuses on his production just as much as his personal artistry. SLMN’s breakout single “Too Much Time” garnered a total of 5 million streams across all platforms and raised the bar for late night R&B within the eclectic talent rich Toronto music scene. His follow up and debut EP “Late Bloomer” released in April 2020 showcased some of Toronto’s best up and coming talent such as anders, TOBi, Jon Vinyl, along with international heavyweight and Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Elijah Blake.

Having secured placements with some of the industry’s most notable talent, including Mariah Carey (“Caution”), Russ (“On The Way”), Lil Gnar & Lil Yachty (“Eastside”), Roy Wood$ (“Say Less”, “Shot Again”, “Glasses”) … it’s clear to see how SLMN is destined for success, as his production track record is lengthy.

“Seeing the impact my production had on artists & fans gave me a belief in myself that I’ve never experienced before,” SLMN says. 

In terms of the future, SLMN has his focus set not only on leveling up his accolades, but his sound as well. Now solidified in the game, he has his eyes set on achieving even more. “[I want] to get nominated for a Grammy, produce a top ten Billboard single, and grow my label to sign multiple acts in the future.” He also said that he will be dropping a Splice Original sample pack near the end of the year. As the year progresses, SLMN will be somebody to watch out for as he plans to make major moves.

Fresh off his Breakfast Club appearance after having “Lines Drawn” with help from Billboard and successfully migrating From The Hood To Harvard, NOLA native Dee-1 taps Soul singer/songwriter Raheem DeVaughn for “Purify My Eyes.” Continuing his theme of counter-culture centered messaging the timely track, which was produced by Anonymous, urges listeners to replace images of corruption and cynicism with lifegiving content to reprogram our thinking for the better.

“This is easily one the most important songs I have ever done because it provides Hip-Hop with a solution-based perspective meant to combat some of the problems we face as a culture. It’s honest, raw, and transparent. I’ve been friends with Raheem Devaughn for a long time, so to finally collaborate on a song feels great. When I played the record for him, he fell in love with it and instantly added his parts; which took the song to another level,” say’s the David Found His Slingshot author in a exclusive statement to Medium Creative Agency.

Award-winning rapper. educator, host, activist, business owner, and keynote speaker are synonymous with Louisiana’s Dee-1. The Nasir “Nas” Jones Hip Hop Fellow at Harvard University is a Billboard Top 10 charting, game-changing MC with a persona to match his penmanship. He’s transitioned from being a middle school math teacher in The Boot to a Hip-Hop heavyweight with much more to accomplish. He has released 10 albums and 21 projects thus far in his career.

Dee-1’s music is part of a bigger lifestyle movement called Mission Vision, which centers around three core principles: Be Real. Be Righteous. Be Relevant. In 2020, Dee received the prestigious NAACP “Power of Influence Award,” highlighting his community activism and commitment to inspiring the youth. In 2021, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on “The Manhattan Project,” but he lost to Michelle Obama. Later that year, Dee was appointed to the “Louisiana Council for the Success of Black Men and Boys” by Governor John Bel Edwards, making him the first rapper in Louisiana history to become a governor’s appointee.

After addressing critics and fans alike in the official music video for the Danny Beats-produced single for “Lines Drawn” and following his viral interview on Sway In The Morning centered around industry hypocrisy, Emmy-nominated educator turned entertainer Dee-1 released his latest project to date From The Hood To Harvard. The 8-track body of work includes guest features from Skyy Brooks as well as P3RK and is anchored by supporting records “Impostor Syndrome” & “Dr. Freshh.”
