985kENNYMAN turns knowing your worth into a feel-good anthem with “Slide”

One rousing Southern Soul anthem that knows just how to make its central idea fun is “Slide” by 985kENNYMAN. The track combines smooth R&B vocals with feel-good Southern grooves and has the laid-back confidence of a song made for trail rides, line dances, backyard parties, family reunions, and weekend cookouts. 

The song turns relationship advice into an enticing musical hook, telling a woman who’s not being treated right to “slide” over to someone who will appreciate her. That combination of confidence and humor keeps the message light while adding a relatable emotional underpinning to the song. 

The memorable hook is meant to linger, and the Southern Soul setting adds loads of warmth. 985kennyman melds the smoothness of R&B with a regional groove in a communal way. “Slide” is about knowing your value, having some fun, and making your way to better treatment, all with enough rhythm to make the message easy to sing along to.
