STS Cut Me Off (Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know FLIP)

STS is on a whole 'nother level right now with these Gold Rush releases, which flip your favorite music blog's hot track of the minute on its head. Sugar Tongue Slim then drops silky smooth bars for days and releases the whole creation as a video. Don't believe the hype? Go check out Slim's "Something About You (Kavinsky - Nightcall FLIP)."

While he's been releasing mixtapes for a few years, Slim is now finally popping up on the right radars. He's currently one of 50 rappers being considered for XXL's 2012 Freshmen class and for good reason. The Atlanta/Philadelphia associated emcee is a natural storyteller with superior flow. What's more is that he is on top of the trends, the blogs, the game. He speaks his truth, which is often compelling and creative.

Much like last year's G.O.O.D. Fridays series dropped by Kanye West and the G.O.O.D. Music dream team, Slim's Gold Rush series is a breath of fresh air in a room of stale farts. Hip-hop gets comfortable sometimes. The game needs dark horses like STS to shake up the system every once in a while.
