Born William Griffin, Jr. in Wyandanch, New York, rapper Rakim rose to fame as one-half of the influential 1980s duo Eric B. & Rakim. Known for his smooth flow and intricate internal rhyme schemes, he helped define East Coast hip-hop with classic albums like the platinum debut Paid in Full. He later released solo projects including The 18th Letter.
