Friday, December 7th
The Stage
170 NE 38th Street
Miami, FL
Hip Hop legend, Rakim is scheduled to perform after 9 p.m. Rakim began his career as the MC for rap duo Eric B. & Rakim. Eric B. & Rakim’s classic album, Paid In Full was named the greatest hip hop album of all time by MTV. Rakim himself was ranked #4 on MTV’s list of Greatest MCs of All Time. Rakim is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest MCs within the hip hop community. The editors of About.com ranked him #1 on their list of Top 50 MCs of Our Time. In 2012, The Source ranked him #1 on their list of Top 50 Lyricists of All Time. One thing is for sure; Rakim’s work set a platform for other progressive-minded MC’s to follow and helped ensure that East Coast rap would always be maintained as the center of innovative lyrical technique. In 2011, Eric B. & Rakim were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Stage is honored to welcome Rakim on December 7th!
Currently, one of Miami’s best local acts, Problem Kids will combine their Latin Funk, Hip Hop, Alt Rock and Jazz on stage. Opening up for Rakim along with Hip Hop group, Art Official, guests can expect a music filled evening. Complimentary cocktails courtesy of The Stage will be provided throughout the night.
