New York rapper Slick Rick released his debut album The Great Adventures of Slick Rick 30 years ago today and Power 106’s Vin Rican drops some classic flavor on this edition of Wax Only. Two songs that are notable from this project are”Children’s Story” and “Hey Young World.”
The Ruler pulled inspiration from tracks like Bob James “Take Me To Mardi Gras,” East Side Connection’s “Frisco Disco,” The Soul Searchers “Ashleys Roachclip” and more. This project is widely considered a classic album since he had a big emphasis on storytelling which was something not a lot of rappers were doing at the time.
