On a Slick Rick kick

These past couple of days I've been obsessed with Slick Rick. "Children's Story" came on my iPod the other day and I just ran with it.



We already know the music's dope, but what I'm really digging is his accent: it's like a mix of "proper English bloke" with that rugged NYC edge. Love!
