Starting off in the rural streets of Waco at the age of 15, Slim Gutta (Joseph Chatman) had no guidance in his inevitable pursuit of his music career. As most kids, rapping and freestyling was a way to pass time. Eventually, with his love for music, he got together with local neighborhood friends and started to make local underground mixtapes. Friends and family didn't realize the potential that Gutta had until they started hearing his songs on mixtapes and quickly realized that Gutta was a man with a promising future. Gutta didn't need people to tell him though as he quickly found out himself.

In 2003, Gutta had to make the decision to move to Grand Prairie, TX, but still wanted to pursue his passion for music. While living there, Gutta would find his faith in front of a local known DJ by the name of DJ Panic of Akk Bad Entertainment. It was there where the start of his career would begin, recording his first ever song in a studio and picking up an underground buzz in the local town. His pursuit would not end there. In his continuous pursuit to express his world through his words, Gutta would eventually run across what would be the next phase in his future, meeting CJ (Jab Collins), who introduced him to the rap world in Austin, TX.

Eventually Gutta’s life ended up in Austin, where he met up with several promising ventures in his music career. He was introduced to a local group by the name of V.I.P. that would feature him on a song for their upcoming mixtape. From that point, Gutta was then introduced to Gerald Geezy (Gerald Goldsmith), and Ryno (Ryan Roberson). The three worked and talked amongst themselves and along with CJ, the four would come together to form the group Monsta Entertainment. It was here where Guttas’ future would launch, recording several group songs and getting ready to release the group album, as well as doing shows. Unfortunately, unforeseen events would break up the group and the album was never released. Lost in what to do next, Gutta would eventually find himself placed in Atlanta GA, where he would meet some important people to continue his pursuit, Chino Dollar and Yung Joc. Yung Joc was just gearing up for his national release and was planning on working with Gutta on several projects. In addition, Chino Dollar was investing into Gutta to produce some songs for what would be the start of Slim Guttas’ solo album. Again, unforeseen events caused Gutta to have to move from Atlanta back to Austin, TX where the worry of making his solo album would decease. Already taking on Ryno from the defunct Monsta Entertainment, Triple D (Danny Davis) and On The Line Records agreed to work on Guttas’ album and put the project out.

After his first recording, it was a no brainer that Guttas’ style, aggressiveness, and appeal would launch On The Line Records into it's next phase to break into the market. His debut album - Real Gutta Music - is a portray of Gutta's life living in Waco TX. This is the beginning to the future of Slim Gutta.
