Born and raised in Southwest Atlanta, in 2000, DonCarlos a.k.a S.T.S. arrived in Philly for what was to be a short visit.

He made his rounds on the Slam scene and quickly rose to prominence, earning the praise of legendary poet Black Ice who would become his mentor.
He became a regular at Black Lily, the now legendary series that started in Questâs living room. At the urging of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Slim began rapping. He went on to co-write Ciaraâs massive hit record âOhâ which became her third top-five single and stayed on the Hot 100 for 23 weeks. Before long, Slim had a record deal w/ Def Jam. But just weeks after signing, he was in a near-fatal car accident. Unable to walk let alone record, the deal was over.
After a long recovery, he connected w/ Black Thought and joined his group, the Money Making Jam Boys. The project featured a host of producers including Questlove, Jazzy Jeff, and a young Khari Mateen. STS would go on to appear on The Roots album How I Got Over, including the track âRight Onâ featuring Joanna Newsom.
