Charles Paul Bell (born March 3, 1991), known professionally as Slug Christ (stylized as Slug † Christ), is an American singer, rapper and record producer from Cherokee County, Georgia.

He is a prominent member of the oddball hip hop collective Awful Records. To say the least, Slugga’s quite the character.

In an interview with Masked Gorilla, Slug explained his name, saying:

Anywhere a slug goes, he leaves a trail of slime behind him, kind of leaving a mark, leavin a trail. When you see a slug going across that driveway, that may be the last time he makes that trail because that driveway is huge to him and it’s gonna take him like fifteen hours to go across the driveway, but regardless he still left his mark and it doesn’t matter if the rain washes that mark away or not. He still left the mark that someone is gonna see, that’s gonna impact someone.
I was raised in a very straight southern baptist household and I never got anything on the church, and I knew that at a very young age. I lied to myself a long time about Jesus. I called myself Slug Christ when I was making electronic music just under my name Charles Bell, I had an album called Slug Christ and that was always just kind of a.k.a. I went by. I use the surname Christ because it was like the most punk rock thing I could think of, like there’s nothing more worst than proclaming yourself Christ, the son of God. I like the juxtaposition of Slug, something small, insignificant, disgusting, useless, next to Christ, which is beautiful, perfect, God. I like the duality of insignificance and significance.
