In an interview with the New York Post, legendary rapper Rakim [click to read] speaks on his new album The Seventh Seal and why the album lacks production from Dr. Dre and Eric B.
“Too many creative differences. [Dre] wanted to go in one direction, and I wanted to go in another,” Rakim told the New York Post. “I really wish we could’ve gotten on the same page, and an album would’ve come out like four years ago. There weren’t any bridges burned, though, so hopefully we can work together again.”
“I used a bunch of hungry, talented guys — Needlz, Nottz and my best-kept secret, Nick Wiz, who I’ve been working with for years. I spoke with Eric B before I started recording, and we both decided it was in our best interest not to collaborate,” said Rakim.
Rakim will be previewing tracks from The Seventh Seal on Thursday, August 13 at New York City’s Highline Ballroom. Rakim will also be performing at Funkmaster Flex‘s birthday bash at B.B. King‘s in New York City on August 21.
The Seventh Seal will be released some time this fall.
