Sleeping With the Enemy is the second album of militant Black nationalist rapper Paris. Released in 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-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.
