Lajan Slim is a Haitian-American rapper from Broward County, Florida. He is from Lauderhill, a small city 30 minutes drive from Miami on I-95 with a population of around 70 thousand people.

During this interview says he got his name from his first plug, who was also Haitian, because he was, “all about the lajan” which means “money” in Haitian. His breakout hit was “Haitians”, which caught a moderate buzz in 2016. The video for the track was released in June, 2016 and the rapper signed with Def Jam in September of the same year, which Lajan discusses in this interview.
