The American rapper known as Rakim was born William Michael Griffin in 1968. Before Rakim rose to fame as half of the hip hop duo known as Eric B. & Rakim, he grew up influenced by New York’s burgeoning hip hop scene in the 1980’s. After a chance meeting brought Eric B. and Rakim together, the duo went on to become one of the most influential artists of the genre for the era. Although Eric B. & Rakim dissolved in 1992, today they are recognized as one of the Greatest Hip Hop Duos of all time.
During their time together, Eric B. & Rakim gave audiences the albums: Paid in Full (1987), Follow the Leader (1988), Let the Rhythm Hit ‘Em (1990), and Don’t Sweat the Technique (1992.) After the duo dissolved, Rakim went on to record as a solo artist, releasing the albums: The 18th Letter (1997), The Master (1999), and The Archive: Live, Lost & Found (2008.) Notable singles from Rakim include: “Guess who’s Back,” “When I Be on the Mic,” and “Walk These Streets.”
Throughout the years, Rakim has also appeared as a guest artist on a number of singles, including: “Friends” and “Off the Hook” (with Jody Watley); “Game of Death” (Shaquille O’Neal); “Hoodlum” ( Mobb Deep & Big Noyd); “Buffalo Gals (Back to Skool),” (Malcolm Mclaren); “Metaforce” (The Art of Noise); “I’ll Buss Em U Punish ‘Em” ( Canibus); “I Am” (G-Dep & Kool G. Rap); “Streets of New York” (Alicia Keys); “Classic” (Kanye West); “Cold Feeling” (Ayatollah); and “Guerilla” (Azad.)
Rakim continues to perform and record, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other artists. Most recently, Rakim released The Celler EP, featuring the single “Don’t Call Me.” He also appeared as a guest artist on the Linkin Park album The Hunting Party; his vocals can be heard on the song “Guilty All the Same.”
