So what does it taste like? The specific ingredients are a secret, but we do know that Slim mixed and selected the sauce himself to reflect the different “flavors of life” and his personal aspirations to carry on. We were told that “throughout his development, Slim kept saying ‘add more, add more’ – ultimately creating a complex sauce.” The sauce mixtures soft, Spicy and smoky note with a light spicy kick. The HOGGLIFE cone comes with fried chicken thrown in the HOGGLIFE sauce and the whole shebang is topped with creamy mac and cheese, fried onions and a touch of salted bacon. A representative shares that Slim has been a longtime regular at the restaurant and that the partnership came naturally.

Houston franchisee Marisol Vasquez saw common ground with the singer, who was already a fan of the restaurant. “In April, we teamed up with the very talented Slim Thug to raise funds for his nonprofit, Boss Life Foundation,” he shares. “We’re both foodies, so it was only natural that we collaborate on a new cone to bring to the community. “
