We'd like to send a big birthday shoutout to the one and only Slick Rick!
A true master of his own style, the now 56-years young hip hop pioneer first made his presence known in 1985, when he teamed up with fellow icon Doug E. Fresh to release "The Show" and "La Di Da Di."
Since then the London born, Bronx, New York raised emcee has gone on to release four solo albums. His 1988 debut, "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick," spawned the classic songs "Children's Story," "Hey Young World," "The Ruler's Back," "Mona Lisa," "The Moment I Feared" and "Teenage Love."
In addition to Doug E. Fresh, Rick has collaborated with Jay-Z, Kid Capri, Snoop Dogg, Nice & Smooth, Outkast, Mos Def, Big Boi and more.
Raise a glass and toast Slick Rick on his born day!
