The Seventh Seal will be approximately one decade since Ra released The Master. This effort, courtesy of Ra/SMC/Fontana Records finds the Long Island legend teaming up with The L.O.X. [click to read], Maino, Busta Rhymes and his own daughter Destiny Griffin. Production on the affair comes from Nottz, Ty Fyffe, Jake One and longtime collaborator Nick Wiz, famed for his production with Cella Dwellas. "The Seventh Seal is my own revelation...my way of taking the best of what Hip Hop has to offer, what we as a culture and a community have to offer, putting my stamp on it and leading us forward while constantly respecting what we've already accomplished. When you've been blessed with a career like mine, you develop a deep relationship with the music, and that love is recognized by the true heads that share it with you. You'll see us keep building as we break through each Seal...showing the best of what I can do in many forms, bringing the energy and having fun, but first I'm laying that foundation and give my longtime fans the conscious fire they expect," Rakim said in a statement.

JumpinJack AJ Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I can't wait...tho' I wish people like Pete Rock and DJ Premier were on the project. I can't believe they brought up Cella Dwellas in the article!! Does anyone on the board remember them. I remember loving their album. I'm pretty sure they only dropped one album. "Perfect Match" was my joint in 96! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turntable Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 One thing out of many I like about Rakim is the fact that, unlike others *cough* Krs *cough*, he always kept his eyes and ears open, enjoying new talents, even tho they make something very different from what he does/did. His guest lists displays that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
