This month in ‘79, Rick James released his legendary third studio album, ‘Fire It Up!’

Driven by pure creative adrenaline, Rick recorded and completed the entire 8-track album in 13 days. As Rick later recalled: “My creative output was crazy. I was on fire.”

He blended smooth R&B melodies with contemporary West Coast hip-hop, bringing in rap heavyweights like Snoop Dogg and Rappin' 4-Tay, while uniting with soul legends Charlie Wilson, Bobby Womack, and his long-time muse Teena Marie on backing and guest vocals.

On October 14, 1997, the King of Punk Funk made his triumphant return to music with the release of URBAN RAPSODY!

Serving as his 12th studio album, Urban Rapsody marked Rick's grand return following a nearly decade-long hiatus from recording. To bridge his signature 1980s funk sound with the booming 1990s music scene, Rick teamed up in the studio with an powerhouse lineup of collaborators.
