Grab It! is the debut album by the American hip hop duo L'Trimm, released in 1988.[1] It was originally released by Time-X Records before being licensed to Atlantic Records. It features the singles "Grab It", "Cutie Pie" and "Cars with the Boom".
The album peaked at No. 132 on the Billboard 200.[2]
The album was produced by Larry Davis, for Paul Klein's Hot Productions.[3] [4] The tracks were constructed around synthesizers and 808 drums, per the Miami bass sound.[3]
"Grab It" was written as a cheeky answer record to Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It".[5] [3]
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."[6] 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." The Rolling Stone Album Guide thought that "the giggly good nature of the duo's delivery keeps these raps from sounding like mere sexploitation."
