The Return of the R







I guess we can say that the rebirth of Hip Hop is upon us, ushered in by BP3 and Cuban II...I am loving where we are now, much needed...not to mention my man Ghostface's Ghostdini: wizard of Poetry in Emerald City out tommorrow Sept 29th..... Whats next you might ask, well I got something for you...reportedly the return of Rakim and his new album The Seventh Seal, which will be his third solo project, slated for November 17, ten years after the release of The Master.


Rakim says that the new album will be put out his own Ra Recordings with distribution from Tuscan Villa/SMC Recordings, with assistance from Universal. The new album is classic R, mixed with more up to date producing and features...Appearances are made by Busta Rhymes, Maino, Jadakiss, and Styles P..Production Credites are Needlz, Nottz, Jake One, Nick Wiz and Ty Fiffe. Reflecting on what is to come Rakim said this:


“When you’ve been blessed with a career like mine, you develop a deep relationship with the music,” Rakim told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “That love is recognized by the true heads that share it with you. 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.

Be on the lookout for that November 17th...for all the true Hip Hop heads!
