Slick Rick's"Children Story" is one of the greatest songs of all time. Can it also be one of the greatest books?

We'll soon find out.

Get on Down is releasing a "Children's Story" children's book. The book will be 18 pages and it will be released alongside a re-release of The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, the rapper's 1988 masterful debut album. Also cool is the fact that a 12” piece of artwork from the original “Children’s Story” video will drop alongside the book.

What makes this a must-cop for collectors is the quality: the pictures will be beautifully drawn and painted and will showcase scenarios straight out of the song and video:

That's still a couple of weeks away. So start saving coins now.
