Widely regarded as one of the greatest MCs of all time, Rakim’s impact can be heard across the entire landscape of Hip-Hop, and he brings his smooth, commanding flow and deeply thoughtful lyrics to City Winery Nashville for an unforgettable night of music.

He first rose to prominence alongside Eric B. with the landmark 1986 release “Eric B. Is President,” and now with many classic albums under his belt including Paid in Full, Follow the Leader, and The 18th Letter, Rakim helped redefine rap delivery and lyricism, setting a new standard that continues to shape generations of artists today. With countless legendary collaborations with artists such as Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Alicia Keys, and Damian Marley, his artistic touch reaches far and beyond.
Join us for an evening of music, food, and wine as we welcome an artist whose legacy spans decades of innovation and influence.
