Easton Phillips (born April 10, 1997), better known as Slim Jesus, is an American rapper from Hamilton, Ohio. He is best known for his 2015 song "Drill Time", which has received over 52 million views on YouTube as of December 2019.
Early life[edit]
A native of Hamilton, Ohio, Phillips grew up listening to Chicago artists of the drill subgenre of hip hop, such as Chief Keef, Lil Bibby and Lil Herb.[2]
According to Phillips, his friends initially called him "Swag Jesus", but the moniker was changed to "Slim Jesus" because of his skinny weight.[3][4]
Career[edit]
Slim Jesus began taking rapping seriously a few months prior to the release of his debut single "Drill Time", which was released on July 20, 2015 via SoundCloud. On August 18, he released its music video on YouTube. The song, which pays tribute to drill music, went viral by September and earned Phillips success.[5] It gave rise to controversy as well, because Slim Jesus raps about shooting guns and killing people on the track. Furthermore, he and his crew are also seen with firearms in the video, though he later revealed that the "illegal items" were props.[4][6]
Following his breakthrough success with "Drill Time", Jesus released his second single, "Buck Buck", in September 2015.[7] He did his first tour, Young & Ignorant, in February 2016 touring the United States and Canada.[8][9]
Slim Jesus released his debut studio album, Gangsta, in 2016[10] and his second album 22 Savage on February 19, 2017.[10]
