From '86-'88, Def Jam had me on the shelf and wouldn't release any of my music. I went to @kooldjredalert's house in Harlem with #TheRulersBack cassette and asked him to play it on his show. That same evening he spinned it on 98.7 Kiss and the rest was history. The song had the streets on fire and Def Jam quickly had a release date for #TheGreatAdventuresOfSlickRick.A post shared by Slick Rick The Ruler (@therulernyc) on Jul 24, 2017 at 11:39am PDT

Enjoyed seeing this earlier today. Did you go to the Liverpool show with Stretch,Clark Kent and nem?
Yeah but we missed Stretch and Clark.Palm House is a very cool venue.
Saw him in Dublin last year and he was cool but he had the worst DJ on the planet. Kept turning the volume up and down every 2 seconds throughout the entire set.
