Single: Rakim - Holy Are You



New joint from Ra ya'll!!! Do I even need to say anything else for you to get ya left-click on right now?

This is the official first single from the God MC's much delayed third solo LP titled "The Seventh Seal", that once upon a time (10 years ago almost) was to be produced by Dr. Dre til' a creative impasse occurred....LOL, seems like a lifetime ago eh? Since then Ra has kept his loyalists satiated with leaks here and there, most recently on that new "best of" jumpoff "Live, Lost & Found" that had a couple new joints from The Microphone Fiend, but whether those will be released on the new album is anyone's guess....

On to this tho....

I mean when the sample plays in the beginning you literally just build with uncontrollable excitement...Unfortunately what ensues musically is less 90's era Rakim revival than it is modern over bearing synth mania....Nevertheless, nothing, and I mean nothing can overshadow his words, which in this instance aren't the finest of his career, but certainly are hotter than anything any other MC has spit all week, maybe all month--bet that....

Do your duty and get up on this....Also as I mentioned, be sure to keep ya glims peeled for that new Rakim album "The Seventh Seal" due out this coming Fall on his G&E Trust label...
