Eric B. & Rakim announce reunion and potential forthcoming tour
It’s been a long time…
Legendary rap duo Eric B. & Rakim have taken to Twitter in the past few days to announce their reunion as well as a potential tour. The Long Island duo first emerged in 1986 and split up six years later after the release of Don’t Sweat The Technique. Each member has since kept up sporadic solo careers.
It's official. You heard it here first.

Following the announcement of the pair’s return, the Twitter account asked fans where a “new tour” should begin, offering New York, Las Vegas, London, and Australia as options.
Where do we jump off this new tour?

The duo also jumped into the ongoing presidential campaign fray by stating that Eric B. was the only candidate for POTUS capable of moving the crowd. They also shared this gem:

In July this year, Rakim performed the pair’s Paid In Full album in NYC. Perhaps that’s what convinced Eric to join him again.
