About Slice 9

Decatur, Georgia may be known as the place “where it’s greater” but that doesn’t mean the come up is any easier. Especially in the rap scene. It’s a jungle out there with starving new artists lurking behind every bush, light pole and open mic seeking to take that number one spot. Atlanta’s latest rising rap star and “Dec” native Sean “Slice 9” James can attest to that.

“Everybody [in Atlanta] is ambitious. At the same time, everybody is competitive. When you want it, you really have to go get it,” says the 22-year-old MC whose Mike Will Made It-produced hit single, “Another One” featuring Future and Levi Leer is climbing Billboard charts and has clubs on smash. “I salute [new artists] and what they are doing,” adds the Atlanta upstart. “But, everybody has to know this is my spot, my time. It’s going to be my time from now on.”
