Follow the Leader is the second studio album by Eric B. & Rakim, released in 1988 and widely regarded as one of the most influential albums in hip hop history. The record elevated the genre with its sophisticated lyricism, innovative sampling, and smooth yet hard-hitting production. Rakim’s calm, complex flow and introspective wordplay redefined the role of the MC, while Eric B.’s layered beats helped shape the sound of the golden age of hip hop.
The album features standout tracks like Follow the Leader, Microphone Fiend, and Lyrics of Fury. The lead single Follow The Leader was the first video to debut on YO! MTV Raps. Combining jazz-influenced production with lyrical precision and streetwise confidence, Follow the Leader pushed hip hop toward a more artistic and technical direction, inspiring generations of rappers and producers.
