Rakim Talks About Joining Wyclef, JD, Slick Rick And Others As "Great Day" Photo Arrives

Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Dupri, Slick Rick and Rakim will be hitting newsstands this week along with another 170 rap artists as "XXL" magazine's "Great Day In Harlem" update finally arrives.

As we reported earlier this year (see [article id="1428411"]"Jermaine Dupri, Salt N' Pepa, Wu Tang Clan, Others To Update 'A Great Day In Harlem'"[/article]), the photo was inspired by "A Great Day In Harlem," a 1958 "Esquire" magazine cover shot that gathered 57 jazz greats (including Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, and Sonny Rollins) on a stoop on that New York neighborhood's 125th Street.

The new photo, dubbed "A Great Day In Hip-Hop," will also be available as a poster with proceeds going to benefit the Boys Choir of Harlem.
