If you've been wondering why Houston's own Slim Thug hasn't released any new music lately, it's because he's been busy making a difference in his community. He co-founded Boss Life Construction in 2015 with Cory Crawford and Troy Green, and they have been providing affordable housing in Houston.
The company's Instagram page is full of projects they have worked on or are planning to work on in the future, such as duplexes and townhomes. Their website also details the housing options they offer to Houston natives.
The Houston Chronicle highlighted Boss Life Construction as a nonprofit spin-off of Slim Thug's parent company, BossLife Inc. In an interview with Sway on "Sway's Universe" in 2017, Slim Thug (whose real name is Stayve Jerome Thomas) expressed his excitement about "putting on" for his city.
"We wanted to build a little small community and acres that was nice so people don't have to leave," he said. "When they gave me my one day, they told us about Lara Lots, where if you build affordable housing, you get the land for like $1."
Slim Thug isn't the only one giving back to his community. Megan Thee Stallion, a graduate of Texas Southern University, founded the Pete & Thomas Foundation in 2022. This organization works to provide resources for positive change for women, children, and senior citizens in underserved Houston communities.
Meanwhile, Trae Tha Truth hosts the annual Trae Day community weekend, which provides community service projects in a safe environment. In 2021, he opened a special needs-friendly ice cream shop called Handy Homemade Ice Cream.
It's great to see Houston's own putting in work to make their city a better and more affordable place to live. We can't wait to see what Slim Thug and his co-creators come up with next.
