Slim, who is an eight (8) time ASCAP award winner, is very excited about the partnership with his label M3 Productions and Asylum. As the first R&B artist signed to Asylum, no one was more pleased to make this happen than the label’s President Todd Moscowitz. “We waited a long time to make a move into R&B, and I couldn’t have found a better partner to do it with then Slim. I’m thrilled to be able to work with someone who I’ve been a fan of for so long.”
