"Let the Beat Hit 'Em" is the title of a number-one R&B single by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam from their 1991 album Straight Outta Hell's Kitchen. The song spent one week at number-one on the US R&B chart (September 14, 1991), reaching #37 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the US dance charts, "Let the Beat Hit 'Em" was the third and final number one for the group. One year later, a Dutch duo produced a 3:40 long remix.
