Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick
Legendary Hip-Hop Duo and Pioneers of the Golden Age Rap Movement
About Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick
Doug E. Fresh (Douglas Davis) started his career in the early 1980s as a Barbadian-American rapper, record producer and beatboxer who gained fame as the “Human Beatbox.” Slick Rick (Ricky Walters) started his career in 1984 as a British-American rapper and storytelling pioneer who gained fame through his distinctive eyepatch and elegant fashion sense.
In 1985, Doug E. Fresh formed the Get Fresh Crew with Slick Rick to release the successful double single "The Show" and "La Di Da Di." The hip-hop world received these songs as timeless classics because "The Show" displayed Doug's drum machine imitations through his vocal percussion and Slick Rick delivered his captivating rhymes while "La Di Da Di" became a song that earned multiple samples and received a U.S. National Recording Registry induction in 2024.
