James 'Slick' Watts has stayed true to his upbringings of Hill Street and Jaycee Manor and is true to his roots. Watts is inspired by family, life experiences and those who have since moved on from this life. His style has evolved over the years and is very diverse from the club joint "Oski Woski" to the deep track "25 to LIFE".
Everything he spits is real life and is written by him. Watts is a unique artist compared to others out today because he has something to say. Many people can relate to him and where he has been in life. Watts played college basketball for four years and has put his degree and everything else in his life on hold to pursue his dreaming of rapping for a living. When asked what rapping means to him James replied "It's my way to reach the people. I feel I was born to do this my whole life." He feels a responsibility to his people and the community to show them how important it is to follow your dreams. Watts says "I decided to follow my dreams because of the death of my brother (R.I.P. Reese). You never know when time is up…so follow your dreams!"
As President of BittaSweet Records, Watts' first goal is to make his mark independently. Then with that recognition he will sign a major record deal along with other members of BittaSweet. Those members are his close friend and rapper G-Jax and his brother Major League, BittaSweet's in-house producer.
Slick has been featured on mixtapes produced by DJ Mick Boogie for AllHipHop.com (League Crew), DJ Ophax (Team AFFicial-France), DJ Blazita (Noize Mob), DJ Smooth Denali (Serius Satellite Radio), DJ DAA ONE (Slip 'n Slide DJ's), DJ Pimp (Team AFFicial - France) and DJ Nice (Crack City Productions).
