Early Life & Education

Salma Slims, born Salma Conteh on November 20, 1992, in Norfolk, Virginia, is a rapper and artist of Gambian descent.

As a first-generation African American, her ethnicity traces back to her parents’ roots in Gambia, West Africa, where her mother, Aminata Conteh, and father, Lamin Conteh, adhered to Muslim traditions and immigrated to the United States in search of better opportunities.

Raised in a strict Muslim household following Islamic principles, Slims grew up navigating cultural expectations of modesty, though she often stepped outside these norms, influenced by her American surroundings, such as not seeing peers wear hijabs in school.

Her early life began with a move to Atlanta, Georgia, at the age of three, where her family settled and her father, Lamin, operated a successful nightclub and recording studio, providing her initial exposure to the entertainment world. This environment sparked her passion for performance; at age six, attending a TLC concert solidified her desire to pursue music and entertainment.

During elementary school at Norton Elementary School in Atlanta, she starred in the school play Annie Get Your Gun and won first place in a talent show performing Destiny’s Child‘s “Survivor.” She also explored modeling from a young age, attending open casting calls and auditions, including a notable selection for a Pro Scouts Model Search workshop in 2003, though several agency pursuits did not pan out.

Slims‘ family faced significant challenges when her father’s businesses in Gambia—a shopping center and nightclub—were seized due to political turmoil under the dictatorship, where he had served as a close advisor to the president. This led to financial struggles in the U.S., and during her 8th and 9th grade years, her father, Lamin, was incarcerated, leaving her without a strong male influence and contributing to a period of rebellion as she began rapping at age 16.

Her parents, Aminata and Lamin, who had high expectations for her to become a doctor, lawyer, or teacher, initially disapproved of her artistic ambitions because of their cultural and religious values, but later supported her as her career gained traction.

Regarding siblings, no public information is available about any brothers or sisters.

For education, Slims participated in an all-female rap group during high school. She later attended community college, completing her degree while balancing two jobs and recording her music.

Career

Salma Slims is an American rapper, songwriter, and entrepreneur who emerged from Atlanta’s underground rap scene to become one of the city’s most dynamic female voices. Born and raised in Georgia with roots tracing back to The Gambia, Slims began writing and freestyling as a teen, channeling her multicultural background and bold personality into her music.

At 16, she joined an all-female high school rap collective called KRUSH, where she sharpened her fast-paced delivery and stage presence through local open mics and talent shows. While juggling community college classes and two jobs, Slims began recording in her father’s former studio, self-releasing early singles such as “Goodie Slim” and “Who Is Salma Slims.” These tracks caught the attention of Private Club Records, an Atlanta-based label founded by MadeinTYO and 24hrs, which signed her in 2016 as its official “First Lady.”

That same year, she debuted her first mixtape, The Diary of Salma Slims (hosted by DJ Pretty Boy Tank), a 12-track project combining trap production, introspective storytelling, and themes of resilience, cultural pride, and female empowerment. The mixtape earned her features in The FADER and XXL, while standout songs like “Right Now” (featuring S3nsi Molly) and “Moonlight” garnered millions of streams and radio rotation across Atlanta.

In 2018, Slims released her follow-up EP Girl, We Got This, an 8-track showcase of sharp lyricism and confidence, featuring guest appearances from MadeinTYO and Lil Gotit. The single “Run It” became a regional club anthem, while “Self Love” went viral on TikTok for its body-positive message, amplifying her influence as a voice for empowerment and authenticity.

By 2020, Slims parted ways with Private Club Records to establish her independent label, Slim Gang Entertainment, giving her full creative ownership and control of her masters. Under this new banner, she dropped the critically acclaimed project Aphrodite (2021), a 10-song exploration of femininity, wealth, and heritage, featuring Asian Doll, Erica Banks, and production from JetsonMade. The project debuted at #12 on iTunes’ Hip-Hop chart, further cementing her status as a rising force in independent rap.

Her momentum continued with “Big Mad” (2022) and “No Cap” (2023), the latter peaking at #4 on Audiomack’s Trending Chart and showcasing her evolving sound—a blend of melodic hooks and assertive 808-heavy flows.

In 2024, Slims expanded her creative reach by launching the Slim Talk podcast on YouTube, where she interviews female entrepreneurs and artists, discussing empowerment, hustle, and representation in hip-hop.

Her music gained additional visibility with sync placements on Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow Season 2, and she capped off the year with the Afro-trap inspired EP Gambian Gold, a 7-track project featuring producer Gee and the viral single “Queen Ting.” The track surpassed 5 million streams and earned a Best Female Hip-Hop Artist nomination at the 2025 A3C Awards.

Now 32, Salma Slims stands as a symbol of self-made success—an independent artist, label owner, and mentor. Through her Slim Gang Foundation, she supports the next generation of Atlanta’s female creatives, funding studio time and offering workshops in music business and branding.

With headline performances such as the 2025 Femme Fatale Festival in Miami, Slims continues to inspire with her authenticity, independence, and entrepreneurial vision.
