If I'm mistaken Rick The Ruler was the first Def Jam artist from the UK. He was part of the golden era of Hip Hop.
Rick is toooo nice on the microphone with the wordplay and story telling, He rhymes like he ain't even trying to make an effort. People speak of Biggie, Nas, Tupac as some of the elite story tellers. But Rick is up there, he created and crafted one of the best story telling tracks in the history of Rap with Children's Story.
It's fair to say he helped add to the fashion sense of Hip Hop of that era. The slick dress code, the unmissable eye-patch and the fly ass jewels. Ask Tony Starks aka Ghostface Killa he'll update you on Rick fashion influence (check that Jay-Z Fade To Black movie moment backstage). Slick Rick we salute you!!
