'''''Sleeping With the Enemy''''' is the second album of militant [[Black nationalist]] [[rapper]] [[Paris (rapper)|Paris]]. Released in [[1992 in music|1992]], it stimulated much controversy with the songs "Bush Killa" ("a revenge fantasy about the [[assassin]]ation 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]] [[shareholder]]s and media pressure prevented then Warner-[[subsidiary]] [[Tommy Boy Records]] from releasing the project.
It has been re-released in a limited release subtitled ''The Deluxe Edition''; it was digitally enhanced, reworked, and contains alternate versions.
