Slug is an American rapper. He is a member of hip hop duo Atmosphere, with hip hop producer Ant (born Anthony Davis).

Slug is the son of Valerie and Craig Daley. He has stated:

My mother’s white and my father is black/native American. So, it makes me really light skinned. Most people think that I’m Italian or a very tall Spanish kid. Just by looking at me, you can’t really tell by my skin or my hair. But, girls always say that my features look like I’m not white.

Slug’s paternal grandfather was named William Arthur Daley.

Slug’s paternal grandmother was named Vivian A. Marie Griggs.

Slug’s maternal grandfather was Kenneth Raymond “Ken” Norrgard (the son of Andrew Abraham Norrgard and Clara E. Nelson). Kenneth was born in Wisconsin. Andrew was the son of Finnish parents, Jacob Norrgard and Maria/Mary Nyquist, who likely were of Swedish origin. Clara was the daughter of Norwegian parents, Absalon/Absolem Nelson and Anna Munson.

Slug’s maternal grandmother was named Mary Irene Johnson. Mary was born in Minnesota.
