Southeast Slim who is a native of the Southeast side of Washington, D.C. delivers that ever popular flow. His lyrical ability ranges from top to bottom. He seems to be able to flow about anything on any level at any speed. He delivers a range of topics from his life to women to how everyone wants to be a gangster. Although he doesnt claim to be the next kingpin he mentions the everyday struggle of growing up in dc which keeps him in touch with his “street cred”. Southeast Slim who is a well rounded individual leads the Emp camp with outstanding lyrics and production. He has been featured on songs with Wale, and has put out a plethora of mix tapes. One of the factors that seem to work in the Emp clicks favor is that they actually grew up together, they werent put together by a record label or they didnt meet rapping, these guys actually came up through the same struggle so they are very insink. Slim demonstrates lyrical assualt on almost every track, which definately has him as a front runner in raps next movement.
Wale who has released several mix tapes delivers a variety of flows on the albums. He has that slow flow, he can speed it up, or he can rap to a melody, his variety should deliver that sound that the rap game is looking for. On tracks like “freaks” where he raps over the old school beat with a serious flow where he creatively displays his feelings towards the groupies. He also comes with the much needed club banger with “dig dug” where he represents his hometown throwing the go-go sample on the track; ala Amerie (one thing). He captured the heart of D.C. with that smash hit. He shows his lyrical content on “ryhme of the Century” with lines like ” errythang yall say so pac related, yall niccas aint shit yall constipated”. His lyrical ability seems to be on a level that can take him to superstardom. His lack of drug tales, and shootouts is what seems to draw a new breed of fans, his refreshing choice of topics is definately what is needed. Hip hop is not dead, maybe it moved to D.C.

That nigga Wale kill it at the club LOVE...You can hear his new mixtape HATE IS THE NEW LOVE on www.43studio.com. Southeast Slim he got a remix with Junior Reed (voice on One Blood) keep it rockin for real. No beef I was reading your comment Hyfee and I was wondering how you could call "walk it out" (ATL Culture-dance music) a gimmick. In the Bay don't they "Go Dumb" "Ghostride whips" "Krump" and bang E-40 TURF Talk? I like hip hop so I can recognize it has different faces. Would you consider the Bay's face of hiphop a gimmick? Just conversation
IF ALL THAT OTHER SHIT AIN"T RAP THEN WATS HYFEE? Give me an intelligent answer instead of saying fuck u cause im not tryin to come at u, it's jus real talk.
hYFEE IS A CULTURE THAT REFLECTS THE RAP MUSIC ITSELF SO ITS STILL MUSIC ITS JUST TO A DIFFERNT TUNE YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT TO UNDESTAND IT BUT DC SHOULD BRING SOME REAL TALENT
Niggas from the A might say "Snap" is a way of life so y is Hyfee bay Ridah hatin. He calls me a hater but he the one always sayin somethin.

snap is a dance gettin crunk or hyfee is the resulf of being high off extacy or drunk as fu*k its an amplified culture and hyfee is just defending what he know

Go-Go music Is some real shit but it aint like crunk music ya dig! A town all day
LMFAO >>>>>>>Gorilla4life
"U probably sumwhere by the beach sittin down at your dinner table wit your parents"
LMAO nigga
This track is hot. I see some niggas don't know the Go-Go vibe has been around for many years. The first song I can remember was Doin The Butt! LMAO! I have to say some of the realest niggas and chicks I have met are from DC. For those of you that don't know about the hood down there, it's no motherfuckin joke. Ask Cam!!!
yo im from VA. and DC usualy only got gogo artist comin out. but this dude is hot. mad props to DC. THATS WHERE THE CLUBS AT!!! JEA!!!
im feelin diz kat whale...he got sum nice flow 2 hiz muzik.
i'm from southeast(Berry farms riiiidddee ooouuuttt!!!) and temple hills and it's about time my hood got some shine!!! Wale and Southeast slim are damn near legends. But what about Temple Hills/Marlow Heights/Hillcrest's Maverick and Cardi? Those boys are sick. And don't forget Big G that's with Bad Boy and is on the Wire (Slim Charles).
and hyfee-bay-ridah if you didn't know on "Tell when to go" Lil Jon sampled a go-go song for the drums. And without those hard drums the song wouldn't have been as big of a hit as it was.And Red-T-Boy good looking on the shout out to Go-Go but Crunk came from Go-go Lil Jon said when he came to D.C. in the late 80's he got hooked on it and incorporated it into his music with Miami bass. Remember go-go has been out since the 70's
Remember Nelly's "it's gettin' hot in herre" that sampled Chuck Brown 70's/80's hit "Feel like bustin' loose". And Jay-Z sampled a go-go hook for his hit "Do it again"
Man joey crack they love that put me in the pocket. Honestly I aint like, then it start catching on, girl love it. People like it cus they can relate, its all bout dc slang and life in dc. People don't realize dc is one of the most copied cities ever.....people get mad when I tell them but its true. Jus to give u a few things people stole from us......jim jones and this nike boot thing, on everything I love we have been rocking them since 02-03. I can show you pics from my freshman year in college with them on.....Ny niccas used to be like them joints wack...now they all on them. The whole jean craze, they used to make fun of us cus we wore designer jeans and we didn't wear them all baggy, now everybody off they skate border fit wit the chain....you can even go back to the 80s and 90s, the versache thing and all that, puff was at howard and took it back up north, the jewelry thing, man if u get a chance watch the Rayful edmund story. He was the biggest drug dealer and they talk bout how puff stole his style. He gross 300 million a year. That term stylin on em, that came from a neighborhood in dc....Its funny cus people think everything come from Ny. I'm not tryin start nothing but those are all FACTS
se slim was horrible... wale's lyrics were pretty weak but the beat was the throwed
amj1227 thats real...but i remember when nigga was rockin them nike boots 98 and flightposites...i also read that long "lesson" and clearly he is local. I mean he doesn't know much about other parts of the country. In the south music is a big part of the culture. 36mafia created the the first CRUNK mainstream and argue they came up with it the music. but Jon helped the culture so to speak. But all the things you talk about from the drug abuse communites to music it is deeply rooted in all genres within hiphop. swangin texas, sippin lean or sizzurp south shit. and gogo was major.. big...hell most of hip hop was sampling those sounds and james brown. I was just blown how one could shit on another form of hiphop and defend it with crack, '70's, hookn up cars, and dancing and drawing a line saying its different. when the only difference i can here in the music is they don't rap on beat, the treble is high, and sped up. I Had a friend from fairfield and he bumped that shit...and i grew to apprecite the music. i don't net bang but bang bang bang
I hear ya dog!! hey facts are facts ya know.....I do know one thing, niggas in the DC love rockin them white tees, then you heard the south talkin bout "In my white tee...." hmmmmm, can we say biting of the Capitol city?? lol....
wale is pretty cool. im not feelin this southeast slim dude like that tho. Word up its some talent in DC on the hip hop scene... Okay I'm lying, there ain't much. Alot of the "rappers" I've heard here. (and trust me I've heard a LOT) sound like they're stuck in limbo with who's style they wanna steal. Whether it be Wayne or Three Six. Truth be told, if Wale's gonna open the door for DC Hip Hop I'll be the next one on the front porch with microphone in hand.
amj1227, you're right on the Nike boot shit, I never wore them shit, but niggas in certain parts of NYC does,Mainly uptown(Harlem,The bronx), you would be hard press to find many niggas in Brooklyn,Staten island and Queens with those on.
The dude izzy is from dc he is pretty good he was the guy in the Kick cannon dimepiece sing. link below if you dont know :)

yo i'm a lyricist from southeast DC(and still living there now).
and s***'s real round here. and we ain't gotta talk about it in our music cuz anybody who's ever been here already know how it goes.
1.round rappers dont make up dances fans do.
2. we are a balance between southern club hits and northern lyrics cuz we can make a club hit wit' deep lyric's punches,metaphors,wordplay etc. or go grimy so DC's a versitile place.
dc/md/va residents watch out for my mixtape coming soon..... word on the streets vol.1
and if anybody wanna battle me on here or see my lyrics than it can be done.any style
we dont need to steal nobody else style...we got toooo! many of our own.
1.northfaces or bapes(if you aint got one you got the other)
2.nike boots(tims are played out here)
3. we barely wear any clothes from any designer from outside of the area.(shooters,alldaz,hobo,werone)
4.hair, if you aint got it cut short than its in dreads,individuals or twists(corn rolls are played out here)

i have support for nebody makin it in tha game i would just wish everybody would quit makin their hood seem like its tha hardest......every american hood has tha same stories nd ive experianced most of em.........all hoods have crackheads....all hoods have a overall crime problem all hoods got "Gangs" or in dallas' case cliques, jus bad shit happen in tha hood......so i wish niggas would quit bein like " o yah DC fittin ta come wit that real shit cuz its hood" man fuck it bein hood, if u live there u know wut tha fuck is goin on there and it cant be illustrated inna song very well by nebody dats shit u gott live, im not intrested in wut goes on there in DC.....for me as it should be for others....is the personal stories of tha niggas who's tellin em......so hopefully DC is producing artists and not just entertainers.......entertainers dont have they own stories to tell so they tell general shit bout they hood which is tha same shit as ive hurd from NY to Cali and everywhere inbetween...............hope they come wit some real shit not jus wut ignorant burban kids would call "hood"shit......ya dig..........real talk
