Rakim Talent Bio:
Rakim (pronounced Rah-KIM) (full name Rakim Allah, born William Michael Griffin Jr. on January 28, 1968 in Wyandanch, Long Island, New York) is an American rapper and pioneer of the musical genre of hip hop, known as one half of the duo Eric B. & Rakim.
In 1986, Rakim started to work with New York-based producer-DJ Eric B. The duo""known as Eric B & Rakim""is widely regarded as among the most influential and groundbreaking of hip-hop groups, due in no small part to Rakim's technical abilities.
The duo`s first single, "Eric B. Is President" (#48, 1986) b/w "My Melody," was a success and got the duo a contract with the fledgling Island Records sub-label 4th & B'way. Their first full album, Paid in Full, was released in 1987, causing a stir in the hip-hop music world due to its novel sound, approach, and subject matter.

Their first full album, Paid in Full, was released in 1987, causing a stir in the hip-hop music world due to its novel sound, approach, and subject matter.[ Eric B. & Rakim broke up in 1992 after releasing 3 more albums: Follow The Leader, Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em and Don't Sweat The Technique. All four of the duo's albums are now considered hip hop standards.
Rakim did not release a solo album for another five years. He signed with his good friend at the time DeShamus "Q=BOB" Sallis of Q=BOB Records but the label folded shortly afterward. He then returned in 1997 with The 18th Letter, which included collaborations with DJ Premier and Pete Rock; released in two versions, one of which included an Eric B. & Rakim greatest hits disc titled The Book of Life. The critical reception of the album was positive, and it was certified gold. In 1999, Rakim released The Master, which received very good reviews as well. Rakim was signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment record label in 2000, for work on an album tentatively titled Oh, My God. The album underwent numerous changes in artistic direction and personnel and was delayed several times. While working on the album, Rakim made guest appearances on numerous Aftermath projects, including the hit single "Addictive" by Truth Hurts, the Dr. Dre-produced "The Watcher Part 2" by Jay-Z, and Eminem's 8 Mile soundtrack. Rakim also made cameos in the Juelz Santana video "Mic Check," the Timbaland & Magoo video "Cop that Disc," and the Busta Rhymes video "New York Shit."
Eric B. and Rakim's classic album Paid In Full was named the greatest hip-hop album of all time by MTV. Recently, Rakim was featured in an All-Pro Football 2K8 commercial. The Seventh Seal, Rakim's long-anticipaited album, has had speculative release dates suggested but is still awaiting official release. Rakim has been active during its recording with several national tours and special events. Rakim recently closed the Knitting Factory in NYC as the last Hip-Hop performer to walk off the historic club's stage after 25 years of underground performances.
