Slim is an American pop/ rock band from Oakland, California, led by singer/songwriter Michael Baker. The band's music balances lyrical expression with a devotion to the sounds and beats of rock, soul, and hip-hop. Their debut album, Interstate Medicine, was originally released in 2002.
The band's roots lie in the San Francisco Bay Area coffeehouse and open mic circuit, where Baker performed for several years while writing the material that would appear on "Interstate Medicine". In early 2001, former Counting Crows and Third Eye Blind drummer Steve Bowman brought Baker together with producer Jeffrey Wood ( Fatboy Slim, Penelope Houston), and sessions for the album began at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California.
In addition to Bowman on drums and Paul Olguin ( Mazzy Star, Mary Wells) on bass, the album features a number of notable local musicians. Chief among these are Jef Labes ( Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt) on keys and Robert Powell ( Peter Gabriel, John Lee Hooker, Jackson Browne) on pedal steel guitar.
The album's songs address a diverse range of topics, from Spanish conquistadores to double murders, deals with the devil to nights spent in thrall to Mexican witches. Instrumentation is similarly diverse: the opening track, "Cortez & Pizarro", begins with rubato flamenco guitar which transforms abruptly into distorted Les Paul through a Marshall stack. "Starfish/Sunflower" mates sampled jungle snares with pedal steel guitar and three-part vocal harmonies, and "Sister Rosa" combines folk-blues guitar with a gospel choir.
Slim now performs around Northern California, with a lineup consisting of drummer Peter Libby ( Primus, Ramona the Pest) bassist Kevin Witte ( Surreal Neil, Tom Jonesing) and Tom Hamilton on keys and backing vocals. Hamilton and Baker occasionally perform as an acoustic duo. Baker plays solo shows, and also with his other band, Radio Nowhere.

Marvin Scandrick (born September 30, 1978) better known as Slim, is an American R&B recording artist best known for his unique voice and his lead vocals in the Bad Boy group 112. After 112 released their fifth album, Pleasure & Pain in 2005, Slim decided to embark on a solo career. In 2008 Slim released the single " So Fly", featuring Yung Joc which was quickly embraced by R&B fans and DJ's alike. So Fly had reached #49 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, Love's Crazy, was released on November 18, 2008 and featured other hit singles such as "Good Lovin" ( Featured Ryan Leslie and Fabolous ), "Heels On" (Featuring Young Berg and Deezo), and "Loves Crazy (Featuring Big Boy)

He was in the company of DJ Lyte, Lucky Calhoun, and Kevin Rockhill. Their collaboration has references to Notorious B.I.G on their Twitter accounts after their studio session.
Slim just recently released his newest work on a mixtape which was titled "Crusin Da City Vol. 1 Presented by DJ Lyte and DJ Lucky Calhoun". This mixtape included Slim's signature falsetto on some brand new original works produced by some of the industry heavyweights such as Drumma Boy, Oddz N Endz, Pooh Bear, and a new up and coming producer Roc On Command ( Kevin Rockhill ). This Mixtape made a big splash in the R&B world right away, it was immediately featured on the top mixtape site DatPiff (http://www.datpiff.com/Slim-of-112-Cruisin-Da-City-Vol-1-mixtape.308742.html). Once DatPiff put up the download page that contained some long-awaited Slim music every other blog, music, and fan site embraced the mixtape and was linking downloads to their pages.
Slim's mixtape Crusin Da City quickly gave R&B fans what they have been waiting for, true R&B music sung by a true R&B artist. This album produced a new track called "Baby Baby" which included as beautifully placed Notorious BIG sample, great instrumentation, and Slim's angelic voice. "Baby Baby" has been getting spins from the radio, club DJ's, and blasted through the internet making quick waves in the R&B community.
Slim has been very vocal as of late releasing new works, doing mag and print interviews, and most of all expressing that he is in the studio making new music for his album.
