1992 studio album by Paris From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sleeping With the Enemy is the second studio album by American rapper Paris. Released on November 24, 1992, it stimulated much controversy with the songs "Bush Killa" (a revenge fantasy about the assassination of then-president George H. W. Bush) and "Coffee, Donuts & Death" (a cop-killing tirade). It also featured a young DJ Shadow on production.

Originally scheduled for a pre–presidential election release in 1992, the album was eventually released on Paris' own Scarface Records after Time Warner shareholders and media pressure prevented then-Warner Bros. Records subsidiary Tommy Boy Records from releasing the project.
It was re-released in a limited release subtitled The Deluxe Edition; it was digitally enhanced, reworked, and contains alternate versions. The album sold over 480,000 copies.[6]
