Rakim returns with his fourth solo studio album, G.O.D.s Network: Reb7rth.
Marking his first album in nearly 15 years, the legendary New York rapper introduces his set with “Be Ill” alongside Wu-Tang member Masta Killa and Tha Dogg Pound’s Kurupt followed by “Now Is the Time” featuring B.G., Hus Kingpin, and Compton Menace.
Locked in with just 7 tracks in total, The God MC brings an elite team of lyricist onboard. “Love Is the Message” features a posthumous appearance from Nipsey Hussle, which also includes Snoop Dogg, Planet Asia, Louis King, Sally Green, Kobe Honeycutt, and The L.A. Grand Choir.
The late DMX and Fred The Godson both make their presence on the track “God’s Playground” alongside Skyzoo and 38 Spesh, while the late Prodigy makes his posthumous appearance on the closing track “Sign Of Se7ven” also featuring Method Man, X-Raided, and Big Twins.
Other tracks include “Pendulum Swing” featuring KXNG Crooked, Canibus, LA The Darkman, and Chino XL, and “International” with Kool G Rap, Joell Ortiz, and Tristate.
“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,” says The R.
G.O.D.s Network: Reb7rth is the follow-up to Rakim’s 2008 album, The Seventh Seal.
