The MC half of Minneapolis hip hop group Atmosphere with producer Ant, Sean “Slug” Daley got his stage name from his childhood

Slug is actually short for Sluggo which is actually short for little Sluggo which is what my name was as a child cause my fathers nick name was Sluggo. And so all of his friends called me little Sluggo which stuck once I started getting my own thing, you know?

Slug was exposed to funk and soul by his father at 5 years old, and to hip hop on local Minnesota urban radio at 11. He formed his own “Juice Crew” from his group of friends and found inspiration from KRS-One and other late 80s “golden era of hip hop” MC’s.
