Resident Alien

Resident Alien were a New York hip-hop group consisting of Prince Paul and three of his close friends. It was 1990, Paul was 20 years old and, as a member of Stetsasonic, he had already signed with Rush Management, Def Jam's in-house management team which handled most of the big name rappers of the era. He had just produced De La Soul's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, among other things, and Russell Simmons and Lyor Cohen thought he was the next big thing.
