Production on one of our most coveted Five Mic classics, Let The Rhythm Hit ‘Em, was kicked off by legendary boardman Paul C, but his untimely death left Button dead at the time. It was succeeded by a young disciple, the Large Professor.

Songs such as the title track “Let The Rhythm Hit ‘Em” satisfied most of Ra’s lyrical critics who wanted R to reprise their debut album, Paid In Full.
