GBN Daily Drop for February 22, 2022: "Eric B. is President" by Eric B. & Rakim

With the 1986 release of their first single, “Eric B. is President,” Eric B. & Rakim shook up the proverbial hip-hop tree. With Rakim deploying complex rhymes, internal musings, and visual storytelling and Eric B. scratching, mixing and sampling soul classics such as James Brown's "Funky President," their first effort as a duo landed them a record deal and helped advance the ever-changing sound of hip hop.
