Grab It! is the debut album by the American hip hop duo L'Trimm, released in 1988. [4]It was originally released by Time-X Records before being licensed to Atlantic Records. [2] It features the singles "Grab It", "Cutie Pie" and " Cars with the Boom".
The album peaked at No. 132 on the Billboard 200. [5]
The album was produced by Larry Davis, for Paul Klein's Hot Productions. [6] [7] The tracks were constructed around synthesizers and 808 drums, per the Miami bass sound. [6]
"Grab It" was written as a cheeky answer record to Salt-N-Pepa's " Push It". [8] [6]
The Morning Call listed the album among the ten worst of 1988, writing that the duo "may single-handedly erase all the musical respect more serious rappers have earned." [9] AllMusic called the album "silly, goofy, escapist fun," writing that the "very pop-minded, club-oriented songs are infectious and entertaining despite the group's obvious limitations." [1] The Rolling Stone Album Guide thought that "the giggly good nature of the duo's delivery keeps these raps from sounding like mere sexploitation." [3]
