Slick was born in Britain but happened to be raised in Brooklyn and he has just recently became an official American citizen. What slowed his path to citizenship was him pleading guilty to two counts of attempted murder way back in 1991 which lead to a six year prison sentence. This understandably made thing difficult for him. With this new citizenship, Rick will be allowed to travel out of the country freely without being turned away which will be great for him and his family.
