Slim Dymondz is Keith Lawrence’ creative moniker. The Harlem born and raised rapper started recording at 16, and a year later, together with the others, co-founded North Carolina’s Pearl City Music. In 2011, after disbanding Pearl City, he moved back to New York and in the process starting a new chapter as a solo artist. Last year, he co-founded Elite Rebel LLC in which he is the CEO.

Music-wise, Slim has two mixtapes to his name. His latest release, which dropped a couple of months ago, is “Hold Up”, a track which is aggressive vocally and lyrically, an articulate piece about what really matters.
