Walrus TV Feature: Fillmore Slim Interview, Part II

"I conquered the game--now I'm conquering the music." Known especially for his days as the Undisputed Godfather of West Coast Pimpin', OG legend and bluesman Fillmore Slim made a name for himself on the streets of San Francisco beginning in the late '50's that carries through today. He has since left the game to pursue his music career, but his iconic image is anything but forgotten. Rolling around SF in his Cadillac, he recounts his role in pimpin', run-ins with the law, and what lead him back to his original love, the blues. Watch the interview, available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV.
