Slim was rushed to hospital two years ago after he was shot multiple times while in Compton.

‘I just feel like when you meant to be here and God have a plan for you, it ain’t no stoppin’ it,’ he said during an interview in the weeks after his ordeal. ‘I hit the ground thinking it was over.

‘My family came out, kept me alive, talking to me, dragging me in the house while they still shooting…

‘My family, love her to death for just saving me. I just feel like I’m blessed just to be here ’cause I could have just died then and there.’
