Let the Rhythm Hit ’Em

Album by Eric B. & Rakim

Let the Rhythm Hit ’Em is the third studio album by American hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim, released in 1990. It has grittier production built from heavy sampling and sparse, punchy beats alongside Rakim's complex, measured rhymes, and it follows their earlier albums as the duo moved toward a tougher sound within the late 1980s and early 1990s hip hop scene.
