Rakim is undeniably one of the best MCs to ever pick up a mic. So imagine being the son of a Hip Hop legend who's also pursuing a career in the same space; the pressure is undoubtedly intense. But 22-year-old Tahmell Griffin is determined to make his mark — comparisons be damned.
On Friday (July 31), Griffin unveiled his debut studio album Home, a modest 10-track, 35-minute offering intended to showcase his familial ties. He's beyond appreciative to have the chance to learn from his famous father — but Rakim didn't exactly hold his hand.
