After a 23-year battle, UK-born Slick Rick finally became a U.S. citizen this past April. Now, he’ll be taking his stage show international for the first time since 1990!

The Ruler will hit the stage in Cologne, Germany July 31, as part of the Out4FAME Festival. Also appearing will be fellow greats De La Soul, Method Man, Redman, Rick Ross and more.

“I am honored to have been invited to perform at the Out4FAME festival” said Rick. “And to be sharing a stage with my emcee brothers, at one the most highly-regarded hip-hop festivals outside of the United States will be unforgettable. I am looking forward to checking out the German culture, and performing my German fans. I will also be confirming more foreign dates in the very near future.”

A special UK performance is being planned for Winter 2016 as well.

Tickets for the Out4Fame Festival are available here.
