Slick Rick’s Behind Bars Album Anniversary
In prison, Slick Rick proved himself a model inmate, and in 1994, he was granted work release to record his third album, ‘Behind Bars.’ However, after just six months, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service informed Rick of their plans to deport him. All work-release privileges were ceased, and authorities sent Rick back to prison. He served his time dutifully, though, and even released his third album, the aptly named Behind Bars.

DEMO “Behind Bars” (1994) by Slick Rick
Mannnn the mix of soothing voice and sharp lyrics is killing me. Like a jazz cover of “People equals shit” by Richard Cheese or salty caramel and chocolate, mixed opposites in music is one of the things I love the most.
Used in video:
▪️Behind Bars (Dum Dirty Dum Mix) ((it’s in the end of the album)
▪️A Love That’s True, Pt. 1
▪️All Alone (No One to Be With)
Personal favorites of this album:
▪️Behind Bars (both)
▪️All Alone
▪️Sittin’ In My Car
▪️A Love That’s True (both, second is more reggae style so it hits different)
