Slick Rick

We’ve (surprisingly) managed to get KRS-One, watched in awe as Big Daddy Kane rocked the mic, seen Masta Ace a few times, and we even got Biz Markie and Kurtis Blow once.

While outside it may have been cold, inside the stage was being warmed up by a few of the local posse in preparation for the royalty that was about to arrive. A killer set by PHD was soon followed up by West Auckland, Avondale based legend and self-proclaimed ‘Young urban poet from the Liiightside' Melodownz.

If you like hip-hop, you know Slick Rick. Even if you don't own a Slick Rick album.

With his slick rhymes and welcoming stage presence, Slick Rick took fans to old school hip hop heaven.

Dipped in so much iced-out jewelry he could have fed an entire Third World country just with the diamonds in his watch, the Ruler sauntered onto the stage at about ten minutes to midnight.
