Let the Rhythm Hit ’Em is the third album by groundbreaking hip-hop duo Eric B. & Rakim, which was released in 1990. The group's sound develops further, with Rakim adopting a deeper, more aggressive tone of voice, and more mature and serious subject matter. Musically, the production ranges from smoother soulful track's such as "In the Ghetto" to the hard-edge assault of the title track "Let the Rhythm Hit ’Em." Despite the fact that it doesn't boast singles as popular as the duo's previous albums ("Paid in Full" and "Follow the Leader") it is considered by many to be the duo’s most coherent album. The album is one of few that has received a 5-mic rating when it was reviewed in the Source Magazine. In 1998, the album was selected as one of the Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums.
