In the often cutthroat world of hip-hop, it’s rare to find an artist whose motivations extend beyond fame and fortune. Hoster Slayton is that rare breed. The Westmoreland, TN native is on a mission to use his music as a lifeline, just as XXXTENTACION’s songs were for him during his darkest days.
Slayton’s journey into music began in the wake of not one, but two suicide attempts as a teenager. In the aftermath, he experienced visions of himself creating music that could help others find the light in their own darkness. This calling has driven him ever since, fueling a dedication that goes far beyond mere passion.
“I wake up every day thinking about how I can better myself as a man and an artist,” Slayton explains. “When I have a creative vision, I take immediate action – whatever it takes to plant a seed I can harvest in the future.”
Slayton’s lyrics are raw, honest, and infused with the hard-won wisdom of someone who has stared down despair and emerged on the other side. One of his most powerful lines comes from an unreleased track: “Learned lessons since I’m curious, love hard and I get serious, no I cannot be envious – your trauma brought me excellence.”
As Slayton builds his SLAYTON PRODUCTIONZ brand and prepares to launch the SLIMEBOYZ LLC/LABEL imprint, he is laser-focused on expansion. By year’s end, he aims to hit 20,000 Instagram followers, establish a constant promotional cycle, and set up his fellow artists for success. He is eager to leverage all the tools at his disposal, from targeted ads to automated messages that nurture a deeper connection with fans.
Slayton’s music will be the backbone of this empire. He is currently crafting a rollout for an upcoming single, with a video and promotional campaign designed to make waves. Fans can expect a steady stream of content across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and beyond.
