This project means a lot, not just to Slim, but to all of us who’ve watched him carve his own lane with raw honesty, energy, and a sound that’s both street-rooted and emotionally aware.
Dimakatso isn’t just a collection of tracks — it’s a body of work that captures Slim’s duality: his fight, his spirit, his softness, and his steel. Each track tells a story from his world — whether it’s about love, survival, identity, or just that hunger to be heard. And this time, it feels more refined, more vulnerable, more intentional.
The name Dimakatso carries a profound double entendre, it is deeply personal to the artist because it was the name of his late sister but futhermoore meaning “suprises” in Setswana it is a reflection of the unexpected and tranformative qay the Slim’s life unfolded and despite the ordeal he never doubted his ability in making music
With this project being his second EP, Slim Dumpie wanted to make this moment unique. He created this project in between the production of his upcoming album – August 3. The selected songs that have made up the project are intentionally crafted for listeners to enjoy and connect with; not particularly diving into heavy subject matter. Instead, the focus of this EP is Slim Dumpie’s artistic range and creative versatility. This is in contrast to his last project – August 2, whereby he was grappling with depression, however, ‘Dimakatso’ is made with zero influence of depression but one hundred percent self-confidence – embracing his true self, for which he feels genuinely loved for.
