Artist of the Week- STS

STS is short for Sugar Tongue Slim. You may have noticed that my song of the days thus far have not been rap songs. I like more than rap. But I like rap, especially good rap. Add this cat falls into the realm of good rap. 2006 and part of 2009 I stayed on rap mixtapes. Good or bad i was downloading it for the most part. My criteria for the if it was an artist I didn't know about if I liked their cover I would download it. The was the first thing that I ever saw of STS was the cover above. As a matter of fact if it wasn't for this cover I never would have listened to it. It isn't the greatest cover I've ever seen, but it stuck (like R. Kelly in a day care) in a sea of covers that basically looked uninspired. Anther thing that made me go ahead was his name. With the name Sugar Tongue Slim I assumed he was a pimp, so at least it would be funny. Needless to say I gave it a listen. I was hooked on the 1st verse on the first track of his Demand More Mixtape . His roots are from the South (Atlanta to be exact). He is cool with the roots. I saw him perform recently with The Roots when I was in D.C.. HE RIPPED IT!!!!! But what do I know I'm a fan. I'll let you decide. *WARNING- HE IS A CUSSER! SO WHEN YOU BANG THIS WIT YOUR MOMZ U HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!*
I will be posting different cuts of his this week, but the 1st posting is very important. I was once told if you want to learn about new artist get there newest stuff then work back. So I that light I will post the most recent thing of his , which just so happens to have come out last week. It has Cassidy and RL (from Next) on it. If you don't like this song ( cuz I aint head over heels over it) just give him a couple listens and you just may change your mind.
