Video: St. Paul Slim and Toki Wright - Live at "Artist Meets Artist"

Slim uploaded this video of him and Toki Wright's performance at the Rhymesayers' Artist Meets Artist concert earlier this month to a MySpace bulletin late last night, and, if you watch the video, you'll know immediately that Slim and Wright absolutely tear it up. Baldheaded Samsun and A Different Mirror can't come soon enough (actually, Wright's Mirror is set to drop on June 9th via Rhymesayers).

The widget you're seeing above comes courtesy of St. Paul-based rapper St. Paul Slim's new website, which he announced via a MySpace bulletin post. Truth be told, it's his ReverbNation profile, and not so much an new, actual website. All the same, check it out to watch Slim tear it up at Soundset '08, and listen to a couple of tracks of his as well.

New Minneapolis Hip-Hop: Young Son and St. Paul Slim

Two of Minneapolis' most promising emcees posted new material on their respective MySpace Pages. First off is Young Son, whose upcoming album Dreamer's Poetry, is set for release this fall. The song is called "Heavy Soul", and it features Adrien Lindsey. It's a slow jam, lamenting the lack of funding in schools, and other plights in urban society today, including how "you kill a man/you get life in prison/cop kill a man/he gets flags and ribbons". A heavy soul, indeed. Listen to the track here.

St. Paul Slim, however, is in a less reflective state of mind. Indeed, it seems as he's got so much trouble on his mind, blasting people he dubs as being insecure (In Alex Trebek voice: What's with the homophobic slurs?). Distasteful element aside, "Watch Out", the new song on Slim's MySpace Page is a club banger if there ever was one, with Slim making many entertaining boasts, and spitting out some furious rhymes with a highly concentrated flow. Check it out here.

In other St. Paul Slim news, you can hear him do a guest rap on "Don't Fight The Feelin'" on modern soul singer Yvette Iris MySpace Page. The rap details Slim's love of hip-hop (gotta dig the LL Cool J quotes) and delves deeply into his life story, including growing up in Minneapolis. Simply put, this is a great song. Listen to it here.
