ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It isn't exaggeration to say that Sean Daley – better known as Slug – has played a pivotal role in the evolution of underground hip hop since the turn of the century. His group Atmosphere truly carved their own lane out in the indie scene dating back to the '90s with the DIY-approach of his label Rhymesayers Entertainment and the vulnerability in the group's songs. Over the years, Slug's style as a writer has also evolved, from the "underground battle rap" space to his development of the silly-sounding-but-somewhat-useful "emo rap" and "dad rap" descriptors. He's always been a great writer and an excellent storyteller, and so it was an absolute pleasure to go under the hood of these seven songs:
"Sleep Apnea" ('The Day Before Halloween,' 2020)
"Get Fly" ('You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having,' 2005)
"Everything" ('Fishing Blues,' 2016)
"Felt Chewed Up" ('Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez,' 2009)
'Get It to Get Her' ('Strictly Leakage,' 2007)
"One of a Kind" ('God Loves Ugly,' 2002)
'Sunshine' ('Sad Clown Bad Summer,' 2007)
