Slim Thug is back on his Houston vibe with Boss of All Bosses (cue the “hallelujah chorus”). Veteran Houston producer, Mr. Lee shows up throughout most of the album to lend his talents to the project, including the mid-tempo “I’m Back” featuring Devin the Dude. Producer Jim Jonsin adds texture to Boss … with his layered production, as evidenced on the lead single “I Run” featuring Yelawolf and the sing-songy “Smile.” Z-Ro, UGK, Scarface, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Trae and Mike Jones are among Slim’s Houston cohorts that show up to round out this above average release. –rogue marie
