Kenneth Jackson Jr. (February 17, 1975 – October 13, 1996), best known by his stage name G-Slimm, was an American rapper.
Biography
Jackson was raised in the Christopher Homes area in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans. As a teenager, he began rapping under the name G-Slimm, and was discovered by Charles "Big Boy" Temple in 1992. He was signed the next year to Big Boy Records along with Mystikal, Black Menace and Partners-N-Crime.[citation needed]
G-Slimm's debut album Fours Deuces & Trays was released on September 3, 1994,[citation needed] and featured guest appearances by Mystikal and production by Leroy "Precise" Edwards, who gave it a West Coast southern feel. Though the record was among the most acclaimed local rap albums of 1994, it did not chart. His followup album, G-Slimm, was released in 1996.[citation needed]
G-Slimm's last features were on Big Boy's 1997 compilation album "We G's", and rapper Tim Smooth's album Da Franchise, which was released in 1998.
Death
On October 13, 1996, gunmen opened fire on Jackson and three other men outside Christopher Homes. All were wounded, with Jackson being hit in the back. He was taken to Charity Hospital in New Orleans, where he died at age 21.
