...underground mixtape circuit the title Already Platinum highlights the fact that he thought no major label would be able to offer him a deal that could match the figures he was already making! Geffen records did and hooked him straight up with the productive prowess of The Neptunes with the end result being a very good debut album for the Houston rapper.
Track 1 - The Intro - This highlights his success prior to making this album. 3/5
Track 2 - ... ...4/5

Additional notes
Album Notes: Possessed of a potent drawl leaving no doubt that he means what he says, Houston rapper Slim Thug rose through the mix-tape underground to a major-label deal with Geffen Records. His debut boasts production work from some of the best in the game, including the Neptunes, Jazzy Pha, and Cool & Dre. With friends like these, little can go wrong, and little does on ALREADY PLATINUM, an album that backs up its boastful title with powerful raps and innovative beats.
Album Reviews: Spin (p.63) - Ranked #15 in Spin's \"40 Best Albums Of 2005\" - \"[W]ith tracks produced largely by the Neptunes, whose experiments in minimal, stern funk proved a perfect, if unlikely, complement to Slim's all-gravity basso profundo.\"
