Rakim, The Master, The Microphone Fiend, he is 100% my favourite MC. I heard him in 1988, when my mother brought me Eric B. & Rakim’s tape Follow the Leader. This was and remains one of the most important albums in the history of hip-hop music. I post for you some of the most important tunes from Rakim’s solo, after-“Eric B. & Rakim” period.
Enjoy!

Rakim – Guess Who’s Back (So So Def Remix)

Truth Hurts – Addictive feat. Rakim


Rakim – It’s Been A Long Time


Rakim – New York Remix (Prod. DJ Premier)


Rakim – Love For Sale

Here is a mix from some old Eric B & Rakim tunes, where Rakim is accompanied by a live band. Can you believe that the first song from the mix is 21 years old? 21 years!
