Music has always been a major factor in the life of American entertainer, film, and music executive, Nolfris “Slim KuttaR” Williams. He comes from a long line of talented singers and entertainers with a family that includes the late great Paul Williams of the Temptations. His grandfather, James, was a five-octave singer with the Ensley Jubilees, a popular gospel quartet in the 1950s and beyond. In his debut EPs, “Hustlers Pack” and “DM’s and Text Messages”, multi-platinum-selling artist and songwriter Slim KuttaR incorporates a diverse mix including jazz, hip-hop, and classical in each of his songs. Slim KuttaR says his music “is about having fun and enjoying life no matter where you are on the journey.” Written by Slim KuttaR, “Hustlers Pack” and “DM’s and Text Messages” was released in July 2023. “Slim KuttaR is making headway in growing in popularity with the release of his new track, “Off The Wall”. The cousin of iconic R&B group Temptation’s frontman Paul Williams, explodes on the new Suga Bear production. On the track, Slim spits a smooth, mid-tempo, party starter that will have your head bouncing and ready to hit the dance floor as you hit repeat. -Boom, THE RAP FEST Born in Birmingham, Alabama, and raised in New Orleans, Slim KuttaR developed an eclectic range of musical tastes from the hard-driving vocal styling of the gospel quartet to the syncopated rhythms of the second line. He draws upon this influence in both his own music and his very formidable work behind the scenes with other artists. A major turning point in his career came in 2005 when Slim KuttaR assumed the role of General Manager of La Chic Freak Music owned by his high school classmates and rap duo The Knux, who were signed, at that time, to Matthew Knowles’ label Music World. The Knux would later sign with Interscope Records. This inaugural run in the music and entertainment business made a significant impact on his career and helped develop his unique approach to doing business in the hip-hop genre. “It provided invaluable lessons and helped me build friendships and business relationships I enjoy even to this present day,” he says. In 2007, Slim KuttaR joined his childhood friend Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment affiliate N.O. Capo to form Forever Living Young Entertainment in partnership with Dwatt and other industry friends, including Rocko and Five. This collaboration yielded the release of N.O. Capo’s Creole Bled Vol. 1 that created a huge buzz across the country. They followed that release with City Under Siege in early 2008 hosted by DJ Khaled. Slim KuttaR continued working with N.O. Capo and other artists as a manager. A chance meeting with Putamayo Records CEO Drew Young proved to be another turning point in Slim KuttaR’s career. Young who had been working with a number of labels in Europe connected Slim KuttaR with Galaxi Group based in Sweden and headed by music veteran and CEO Attila Galaczi. Over time, Slim KuttaR decided to move beyond the manager/executive role and give voice to his own creative expression. He approached Galaczi and Young with the idea of him recording an EP.
