Four decades after his groundbreaking debut with Eric B. on the seminal project Paid In Full, legendary MC Rakim has made a monumental return to the hip-hop scene with his latest album, G.O.D.’S NETWORK (REB7RTH). This release marks Rakim’s fourth solo album and his first full-length project in 15 years, reaffirming his place as a pivotal figure in hip-hop history.
Rakim, alongside Eric B., emerged as one of the most influential duos of the ’90s hip-hop era. Known for his poetic and thoughtful lyricism, Rakim set himself apart with his clever rhymes and a departure from the improvised rap style that was prevalent at the time. His innovative approach to rap has earned him enduring respect and admiration within the music industry.
The new LP, G.O.D.’S NETWORK (REB7RTH), is a testament to Rakim’s enduring talent and influence. The album features collaborations with some of his late contemporaries, including Nipsey Hussle, DMX, and Fred the Godson, as well as iconic artists who rose to prominence alongside him, such as Snoop Dogg and Method Man. These collaborations highlight the album’s blend of legacy and innovation, bringing together the past and present of hip-hop.
“Having the ability to showcase my talents behind the boards, coupled with the elite lyricism the world already knows and gives me infinite praise for, alongside some of the best talents to ever do it is truly a blessing and for that I am humbled,” Rakim said of the project.
Rakim’s return with G.O.D.’S NETWORK (REB7RTH) not only celebrates his storied career but also introduces his legendary artistry to a new generation of listeners. The album is now available for streaming on all major platforms, inviting fans old and new to experience the rebirth of one of hip-hop’s most revered voices.
