Urban Rapsody

1

Urban Rapsody is an album by the American funk singer Rick James. It was released through Mercury Records and Private-I Records in 1997, and was the final album released in his lifetime. The album combines rap and funk. Urban Rapsody received a Parental Advisory sticker, James's only album with one. It was his first release since 1988's Wonderful, due to substance abuse problems and an extended period of incarceration. The album peaked at #170 on the Billboard charts.

Critical reception

The New Rolling Stone Album Guide gave the album 1.5 stars (out of 5), writing that it is a "cannily conservative attempt to recapture the R&B portion of his audience, but it lacks the fire of his early hits."
