Celebrating the anniversary of DEEPER STILL by Rick James this week.
Released on May 15, 2007, this posthumous project was a labor of love that Rick was working on right up until his passing in 2004. Recorded primarily in his home studio in Los Angeles between 2003 and 2004, it offered fans a more refined and introspective side of the punk-funk pioneer.
Released on his own Stone City Records, the album reached the Top 20 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, serving as a powerful reminder of his enduring talent and the musical depth he possessed until the very end.

May 13, 1982: THROWIN' DOWN was Rick Jamesā high-energy follow-up to STREET SONGS and it more than lived up to the hype.
This Gold-certified masterpiece gave us the ultimate floor-filler "Dance Wit' Me" and featured a legendary collaboration with The Temptations on "Standing on the Top." From the heavy basslines of "Hard to Get" to the raw energy of the title track, Rick showcased exactly why he owned the 80s groove.
