Hey Young World

#110

Slick Rick, MC Ricky D, The Rickster, Rick The Ruler…

No matter which name he goes by, Richard Walters always delivers. Def Jam easily spotted his talent and he became the third artist ever to sign with the label, behind LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys. Walters created a whole new genre that others tried to replicate, most successfully by Das EFX. Like many of us, he’s experienced ups and down throughout his life. However, unlike many of us, he created one of hip-hop’s most memorable positive messages with this song.
