Know the Ledge
"Know the Ledge", originally released on the soundtrack for the film ''Juice'' under the title "Juice (Know the Ledge)", is a 1992 single released from hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim. It was the theme song for the film and a single released from the duo's 1992 album ''Don't Sweat the Technique''. The song features a distinctive sample from Nat Adderley's 1968 hit "Rise, Sally, Rise".
"Know the Ledge" is one of the most well-known showcases of Rakim's storytelling ability, as he shares a first-person narrative of a neighborhood thug and drug dealer who is forced to come to grips with his violent and reckless lifestyle. It became one of Eric B. & Rakim's final hits together as a duo, and was one of the most successful singles released from the ''Juice'' original motion picture soundtrack.
==Background==
The rapper played a more active role in the song than usual. He reveals this years later:
"They let me go up in a little room and see the movie. It was funny I was living in Manhattan downtown on 19th street. So when I got to the crib, me and wifey, she knew I was zoning in the cab. When I got to the crib I had my studio in a little room. I went straight up into the room and found the sample. The bass line. I took the bass line and put the regular drum sample underneath that shit. Half an hour later I had the lights off because I was in there zoning. Wifey came in I was like turn the lights off and close the door back. About an hour later I came out of there with three verses man. It was crazy."
Rakim also played live drums on the track.〔
