little history about Slick Rick

Slick Rick was actually born Ricky Walters in 65. The reason why he initially wore the eyepatch was to cover up his actual blind eye. When he was an infant a piece of broken glass got into his right eye which in turn made him blind in that eye. Rick is also know for wearing a heck of a lot of jewelry (what busta has been doing lately). Best know songs from Slick Rick are "La Di Da Di", "Mona Lisa" and "Childrens Story". "La Di Da Di" was used in multiple tracks, from Snoops Doggystyle album to the hook in Biggie Hypnotize.

Albums by Slick Rick are:
-The Great Adventures of Slick Rick
-The Ruler's Back
-Behind Bars
-The Art of Storytelling
