“Mahogany,” Let The Rhythm Hit ‘Em, Eric B & Rakim (1990)
When Eric B & Rakim dropped his third studio album, “Mahogany” was one of the sparkling gems off of the 30-year-old album. Fans have always known Rakim to have a smooth silky voice, but it was not until this beautiful ode that women felt that he was actually speaking to them.
“When she spoke, her accent was self-explanatory. Even her body language told the story,
Her name was Mahogany – twin’s name was Ebony. I said my name is Ra and this is Eric B.”
