Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em (Vinyl LP)

Though it's credited to the duo, 1990's Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em is in effect the first Rakim solo album. The legendary Irish-American hip-hop engineer Paul C. was responsible for shaping the album's sound, though production duties were finished by Large Professor after Paul C.'s murder in 1989. The stealthy, tight-knit drum programming inspired Rakim's most athletic rhyme feats, especially on the three opening cuts: a dazzling sequence of lightning reflexes. But Rakim went beyond mere speed, as proven by the leisurely, detail-oriented storytelling of Mahogany.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
