"Misdemeanor" is a song performed by American rhythm and blues singer Foster Sylvers; issued as the first single from his eponymous debut studio album. Written by his brother Leon, the song was his only hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #22 on the chart in 1973.
Jess Harvell of Freaky Trigger has written of the song in retrospect: "So musically this comes over like a '99 era Irv Gotti/Ja Rule track (you know, when they were good): stop-start rhythm, lotsa chimes, pizzicato xylophone(?). Only the dippy-dippy-do funk bass maroons it in the 70s. It's fucking great."
