It may seem surprising that Slim Thug is working with the Neptunes on Already Platinum - but not to him. He feels that with all the freestyles he’s dropped over Neptunes-produced instrumentals on the mixtape circuit, "I damn near did rhyme over all their stuff already." Slim Thug met Pharrell when he would come into town for shows and promotional appearances. "I ended up doing a song with Fam-Lay (also on Star Track) and Pharrell liked what he heard." Enough to sign him to their label.

Slim Thug’s major-label debut solo album will be released by Geffen Records through Star Trak, the label founded and fun by mega-star producers The Neptunes.

Updates:

 Slim Thug Already Platinum Delayed, One’s again:
New Release Date: July 12, 2005

 Already Platinum: New Track Listing.
Iterviewer: There are already bootlegs of "Already Platinum" floating around the internet. Apart from ethically speaking, why would you advise fans to purchase the retail version of your album over others?
Slim Thug: ’cause the bootleg version, first of all wasn’t the whole album. It had a few songs on there, I ain’t gon’ lie, that’s off of the album. But at the same time a lot of the record is just songs that were recorded. They just put them together. Not to mention, I’m gonna put at least ten more new songs on that record. They don’t have the record with me and Snoop. They don’t have the record with me and Scarface. They just got a few records I had did by myself.

 The single from Slim Thug "I Ain’t Heard of That" will be available for digital download 2/22 through iTunes, MusicMatch, etc...
