The hip-hop world patiently awaits, for Rakim, the god of rap to emerge after signing with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Records. In a recent interview with M.O.P. They said they were contacted by Rakim to be on his yet-untitled album. “I had a convo with Rakim. He said he got a slot for us on his new album,” Billy Danz said. “I get a chance to rock with the God.”
While Rakim has popped up with Kool G Rap on “Ghetto Nigga” from Bad Boy’s G-Dep’s debut, the Long Island rap resident has laid low since his last album, The Master. Being on Aftermath has possibly given another fan of Rakim the chance to bless the mic with the God. “You better believe I want to work with Rakim!” Kurupt stated. In the past, Kurupt has said, “My idol ain’t no joke so why in the fuck would I be,” referring to Eric B and Rakim’s “I Ain’t No Joke.”
Representatives for Aftermath would only confirm that Rakim was formulating how he wants to present himself creatively on the album.
