No. 3 The Great Adventures of Slick Rick by Slick Rick

Debuting in the mid-80s as part of Doug E. Fresh’s Get Fresh Crew, hip-hop’s greatest storyteller made the world wait for three years before he released his first studio album. It was worth it. Rick’s wit, knack for a narrative and unmistakeable and influential flow make for one of the best album’s Def Jam Recordings ever released. Every track is, well … an adventure.
