In the history of Hip Hop, few artists have shaped the craft of lyricism like Rakim. Widely hailed as one of the true Masters of the Microphone, he transformed the genre with the 1986 release of “Eric B. Is President” alongside longtime collaborator Eric B., forever raising the bar for emcees to come. His groundbreaking flow, intricate wordplay, and effortless delivery redefined how rhymes could be constructed and performed.
With multi platinum classics including Paid in Full, Follow the Leader, and The 18th Letter, Rakim’s influence spans generations. Frequently cited by Billboard, Rolling Stone, and MTV among the greatest to ever do it, he has collaborated with icons across music while continuing to inspire artists worldwide. A BET Lifetime Achievement Award honoree and perennial greatest of all time contender, Rakim remains the standard.
