Renowned rapper Rakim Allah, hailing from Long Island, is making a comeback with new music. According to AllHipHop.com, the God MC is set to release a new album on July 26. Fans of the iconic hip-hop duo, Eric B. & Rakim, will be thrilled to know that this will be his first album in over 15 years. Titled "God's Network: Reb7th," it is his first release since 2009's "The Seventh Seal." The excitement is building as Tha Dogg Pound's Kurupt took to social media to announce that the single "Rebirth," featuring himself and Wu-Tang's Masta Killa, is produced by Rakim himself. Mark your calendars for June 21, when the single is scheduled to drop.
On July 26, Rakim's new album "Rebirth" will finally be released, with the God MC producing it himself. The news was shared by Kurupt on his Instagram account, along with the hashtags #Rakim, #MasterKilla, and #GOTTi. The anticipation is real!
Despite not being inducted into this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rakim and his former partner Eric B. were gracious and congratulated their peers A Tribe Called Quest and Mary J. Blige for their induction. In a statement, they said, "Congratulations to the diverse group of artists inducted into the Rock Hall this year. Seeing Tribe and Mary on the list besides Cher, Ozzy, Kool and the Gang, and all of the other icons show how inclusive the institution has become." This was their second nomination, having missed out in 2012. However, Rakim remains optimistic about the possibility of being inducted one day, stating in a previous interview with AllHipHop, "Maybe it'll happen this time. I feel great about it. Let me tell you, anytime anybody nominates you or thinks about you, you should feel great. I think it's a long time coming. We're all righteous guys and girls, so it's on God's time, not our time. I'd be just as appreciative if I won it the first time, so it's great."
