Oddly enough last week I was engaged in a debate about rap music (something I usually try to avoid) with a friend of mine. Of the numerous absurdities my friend proclaimed about who are the best rappers alive today the worst of the worst was when said friend tried to tell me that out of Eric B and Rakim's legendary catalog of classic material only 20% of said material was "hot".
Needless to say my friendship was almost instantly terminated because it took every ounce of self control I had to prevent me from smacking the shit outta my friend for uttering such blasphemous tomfoolery.
There’s only a handful of artists whose influence impacted the development and progression of the Hip Hop art form dating back to its roots (Rakim being one of the special few), so it’s always important to pay respect.
Rakim is back with a new single entitled, “Holy Are You.” This will be the lead single from his highly anticipated album The Seventh Seal set to release early Fall 2009.
The album is said to be a contemporary observation of the Hip Hop culture he helped define, it’s been a long time coming so hang tight.
In the meantime, check out the track!
