RAKIM ALLAH


highly anticipated, long awaited. the real god mc is set to drop the seventh seal on november 17th under Ra Records/Tuscan Villa/SMC Recordings. The album will include collabos with the likes of Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Maino, Tracy Horton, IQ, Styles P and Rakim's own daughter Destiny Griffith.

USA TODAY SAYS:

"The God MC previews his long-awaited The Seventh Seal with a lyrically adept reminder of how he earned the name”


BILLBOARD SAYS:

“Rakim is in top form, richly merging self-mythologizing reflections on his legacy with religious imagery.”


i'm as excited as any Rakim fan out there, not to say that his old shit isn't legendary enough but, it's refreshing to know that he's still got it!

RAKIM SAYS:
“The Seventh Seal is my own revelation…my way of taking the best of what Hip-Hop has to offer, what we as a culture and a community have to offer, putting my stamp on it and leading us forward while constantly respecting what we’ve already accomplished. When you’ve been blessed with a career like mine, you develop a deep relationship with the music, and that love is recognized by the true heads that share it with you. You’ll see us keep building as we break through each Seal…showing the best of what I can do in many forms, bringing the energy and having fun, but first I’m laying that foundation and give my longtime fans the conscious fire they expect.”
