Slayr On What "Underground" Means & His Favorite Lil Uzi & Playboi Carti Albums
Rising artist Slayr sat down with Complex's Antonio Johri to talk about his recent sold-out tour, his upcoming "magnum opus" album, and his extensive list of musical and production influences—ranging from Lil Uzi Vert and Juice WRLD to Pi'erre Bourne and Kanye West.
He shared his thoughts on why he views himself outside of the "underground" rap scene, dove into his unique musical background—explaining his relative pitch and early childhood piano lessons—and gave surprise shoutouts to his favorite pop acts like Charli xcx, PinkPantheress, and Rosè. Finally, Slayr reveals what's left on his career bucket list.
Sharp TankTwo hosts, one pitch, one bet on the line.
Each host comes prepared with one future, prop, or bet they're passionate about and has to pitch it to the other. The goal isn't just to explain the bet, it's to sell it. After the pitch, the other host asks questions, pokes holes in the logic, challenges the numbers, and ultimately decides:
I'm In (I'd place this bet.)
I'm Out (Not enough value.)
