Throwback: Heart Over Hustle ft. Slug (of Atmosphere)

This week on Father Hoods, DJ EFN, Manny Digital, and KGB link up with the legendary Slug—one half of the iconic Hip Hop duo Atmosphere—for a #throwback episode packed with fatherhood gems! Slug breaks down what it’s like raising four kids, how he leveled up from young parent to seasoned Dad, and why he’s careful not to embarrass his kids (too much!). The Dads dive into real talk about the future, sparked by Manny’s son dropping deep thoughts on climate change, and the low-key guilt Dads feel about the world their kids are inheriting.
Slug also shares how fatherhood reshaped his grind, balancing music with family life, and how Prince’s fight for artistic freedom inspired his own journey. From the hustle of a young rapper to finding his rhythm as a family man, Slug keeps it a buck about the lessons learned along the way!
