Rakim speaks on the old school respecting the new artist out and mature Hip Hop for older fans of the culture. I see Jay-Z’s change in content and style along with songs like, “30 something,” as him maturing along with his fan base. Some people hate the change but like Jay-Z says, “niggas want my old shit, buy my old album.”

Do you see yourself listening to rap your whole life?

Rakim’s new album, “The Seventh Seal,” will be on sale soon.

Produced By Nigel D.

Rakim – Holy Are You

“In the history of Hip-Hop, few artists have had as great an impact on the development and progression of the art form and lyrical style as Rakim. “Holy Are You” – the hypnotic lead single, is off of his long awaited new album The Seventh Seal, to be released early fall, 2009 on the artists Ra Records imprint in a joint venture with TVM and SMC Recordings and distributed through Fontana / Universal Music Group.”
