Biography
George Carroll, known professionally as Slaine, is an American rapper and actor born September 27, 1977, in Boston, Massachusetts. He spent his childhood and teenage years in Boston before relocating to New York City in the mid-1990s, where he adopted the moniker Slaine and launched his hip-hop career.
In the early 2000s, Carroll became a prominent figure in the Boston hip-hop scene, releasing mixtapes and the album Stereotypez (2007) with his group Special Teamz. He then joined the rap supergroup La Coka Nostra, collaborating with Ill Bill and House of Pain on A Brand You Can Trust (2009). His debut solo album, A World With No Skies 2.0 (2011), charted across multiple Billboard categories, peaking at 33 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, 22 on Top Rap Albums, 29 on US Independent Albums, and 4 on Top Heatseekers. Subsequent solo work includes The Boston Project (2013), The King of Everything Else (2014), Anti-Hero (2017), One Day (2019), and The Things We Can't Forgive (2021), while La Coka Nostra released Masters of the Dark Arts (2012) and To Thine Own Self Be True (2016).
Carroll's acting career began when Ben Affleck cast him in Gone Baby Gone (2007), Affleck's directorial debut—a role that required Affleck to convince reluctant producers to hire a first-time actor. Affleck rehired him for The Town (2010), and the ensemble cast won Best ensemble cast at the 2010 National Board of Review and the Washington DC Area Film Critics Association Awards. He has since appeared in Killing Them Softly (2012), Girl House (2014), Central Intelligence (2016), and Wheelman (2017).
As a Libra born in 1977, Carroll channels the sign's duality between artistic pursuit and interpersonal collaboration. His Life Path number 6 suggests an inherent drive toward responsibility and creative mastery across disciplines.
