Eric B. & Rakim’s ‘Follow the Leader’ Re-Imagined In The Style Of Jazz

Eric B. & Rakim‘s Follow the Leader is considered by many critics as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Released on July, 26th 1988, the classic LP put Rakim in the conversation of the greatest MCs of all time.

Now, 31 years later, multi-platinum producer Jonathan Hay recreated the entire album in the style and genre of Jazz. All 11 songs from Follow the Leader were recreated using only instrumentation, with all the songs mechanical licenses granted – meaning that Eric B. & Rakim will be paid in full from this golden-age revisit.
