Eric B. & Rakim are reuniting! The iconic rap duo made the announcement on Twitter in a series of posts this week playing off the current presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Their debut album, the classic 1987 Paid In Full, featured “Eric B. is President” and they are rallying for America to choose him as the country’s new leader.
Eric B. & Rakim hint that their reunion will consist of an international tour and ask fans where they should kick it off.
The duo released four studio albums together from Paid In Full to 1992’s Don’t Sweat the Technique. After breaking up in 1993, the MC embarked on his solo career and Eric B. focused more on the business side of the industry. The pair reunited in 2010 for their induction into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, but three years later, Rakim said that he didn’t really talk to Eric B. anymore.
So something’s changed since then! Stay tuned for more info.
WOW!
Hiphop hooray a must see
Massive! It’s never too late.
News of the decade, best DJ Rap duo in history
Why best rapduo? Eric B did nothing! Rakim did the raps and beats.
They should do a Eric B and Rakim Vs Big Daddy Kane tour in the same light as that Weezy vs Drake tour. Eric B or Rakim if you’re reading this I’ll open up for this tour. The experience would be precious.
Cant wait. Rakim 7th seal was hardcore.
