United States Slim Jesus gained significant attention for his 'Drill Time' single and music video, which became a viral phenomenon.
Slim Jesus was noted for wearing True Religion apparel in his 'Drill Time' music video.
Robert Church, known professionally as Slim Jesus, gained prominence in the music industry with the release of his single “Drill Time.” The song was initially released on SoundCloud on July 20, 2015, followed by a music video on August 18, 2015. This video quickly achieved viral status, sparking public discourse and various controversies. The track was later made available on streaming services on January 9, 2017. He found the beat for “Drill Time” on YouTube, and the song achieved 4,000 views on its first day after being published.
His music and its accompanying video, which depicted him and his crew brandishing what were described as props rather than real weapons, led to discussions regarding cultural appropriation within the drill music genre. Critics and other artists, such as Lil Mister and Ben Sommers, released diss tracks. Slim Jesus acknowledged that the content in his music was fictitious and did not reflect his actual lifestyle. However, this period marked a significant turning point in his early career, establishing his presence in the rap scene and drawing both a large audience and critical commentary.
