The golden age hip-hop duo Eric B. & Rakim first exploded onto the scene with the release of the iconic “Eric B. is President” in 1986. Their classic album Paid in Full, which sampled funk
and soul-driven tracks, was monumental within the hip-hop scene and was named the most excellent hip-hop album of all time by MTV. To this day, Eric B. & Rakim remain one of the most
iconic duos of hip-hop and are considered pioneers in the culture, revered by today’s emcees for furthering hip-hop’s expansion with their unmatched definitive sound.
Eric B. is a hugely influential DJ and beatmaker whose taste for hard-hitting James Brown samples touched off a stampede through the Godfather of Soul’s back catalog that continues to this present day. More than four decades later, he continues to blaze trails in music, business, and on the big and small screens. Rakim, meanwhile, still tops fan polls as the greatest MC of all time. He crafted his lyrics like poetry, filling his lines with elaborate metaphors and complex internal rhymes. He played with the beat like a jazzman, earning a reputation as the smoothest-flowing MC ever to pick up a mic.
