Hip-hop legend Rakim is breaking new ground with his upcoming studio album, G.O.D.'S NETWORK (REB7RTH), by flexing his skills both on the mic and behind the boards. Widely lauded as the best lyricist of all time, The God MC himself is blessing the culture with the next step in his historic career.
"I feel like the battery in my back has been reenergized," Rakim said about his new album, which arrives nearly four decades after the release of his classic debut with Eric B., Paid In Full. Since then, he's continued to shape the land-scape and culture of hip-hop as we know it, inspiring rising artists with his hype live shows and incredible studio al-bums. And while he's produced some of his previous work-notably "Don't Sweat the Technique," "Juice (Know The Ledge)," and "Paid In Full"-this feels like new territory for the 18th Letter, whose production and scratching talents are nothing short of remarkable.
G.O.D.'S NETWORK (REB7RTH) is proof that Rakim is truly one of the most special artists we've known not just in hip-hop, but all of music. You can tell he feels that level of praise when speaking about the genesis of the album. "Having the ability to showcase my talents behind the boards coupled with the elite lyricism the world already knows and gives me infinite praise for alongside some of the best talents to ever do it is truly a blessing and for that I am humbled," he said.
Rakim is more than an official triple-threat as an artist, because he's also showing off skills as a curator. On this al-bum's seven tracks, he enlists a who's-who of top hip-hop talent, including the dearly departed Nipsey Hussle, Fred the Godson, DMX, and Prodigy (of Mobb Deep). Rakim also linked with many of his contemporaries, such as Snoop Dogg, Method Man, KXNG Crooked, B.G., and Kool G. Rap, among others.
The album's first single, "Be Ill," is the perfect introduction, as it pairs Rakim's raw rhymes and head-nodding produc-tion with slick guest features from Kurupt and Masta Killa. Elsewhere, Rakim slows it down for the soulful "Love Is The Message," which features Nipsey Hussle, Planet Asia, Louis King, Snoop Dogg, Sally Green, Kobe Honeycutt, and the LA Grand Choir. And then there's the chest-thumping "International," a straight-up slapper with hard-hitting rhymes from Kool G. Rap, Tristate, and Joell Ortiz.
For fans of hip-hop, and especially of Rakim's storied discography, there is so much to love on this record. You can hear his hunger as an emcee and producer on every track, as well as his desire to collaborate with so many respected artists. Despite having decades in the game and many classics to his name, it feels like Rakim is just getting started.
While the world awaits the July 26th release date, fans can catch Rakim performing live throughout the US from now until the end of year in support of G.O.D.S Network (REB7RTH). In addition to debuting new material, he'll be perform-ing all the classics from his beloved catalog.

You’re The Man is the first-ever planned “lost” Tamla/Motown album from Marvin Gaye. Fifteen (15) of the album’s 17 tracks are on vinyl for the first time and three tracks are newly mixed by SaLaAM ReMi. The album also includes the rare long LP version of Marvin Gaye’s cancelled Christmas single from ’72, as well as an unreleased vault mix of its instrumental B-side, and new essay by Marvin’s biographer, David Ritz. The release will coincide with the 60th anniversary of Motown as a label and also Marvin Gaye’s 80th Birthday (April 2).
While the tracks have been issued on various collections and deluxe editions, this is the first time they have been placed in their proper context. In addition to context, You’re The Man was the album that was proposed to follow-up the monumental What’s Going On, and it contains all of Marvin’s solo and non-soundtrack recordings from 1972 (his next two albums in quick succession: Trouble Man and Let’s Get It On).

On Millions, OLSSON effortlessly spans genres including dance, indie, pop and more in-between. Opener 'Hold On' - a collaboration with the sharp tongue of Sweden's Mapei - leads with a classic hip-hop beat before breaking into a danceable indie swagger, and has already seen OLSSON achieve high profile acclaim from the likes of Zane Lowe, Noisey and more.
Elsewhere on tracks such as 'This Heat' and 'Satellite (Only Analog Talks)', OLSSON channels a '90s rave influence while also delivering a gnarled Brit indie rock bite, which plays like the tripped-out love child of Kasabian and Jungle.

Short Info:
'Hold On' EP features fellow Swedish artist Mapei rapping a Verse on the title track, the genesis of what, like all gods creature, was born from a picture of chance and chemistry. "We had been spending a lot of time working in the studio, mostly on her upcoming album. For the feature on HOLD ON, I wanted someone who could tear down a wall, but sound like a hot Shangri-Las at the same time. Mapei is perfect for this." Arguably much of the songs power comes in the the chorus's backing Vocals, which in true fighting spirit Olsson went hard when choosing the right collaborators for this. "I´ve always been obsessed with gospel choirs since I was a kid, so 'Hold ON' had to have one. Back in 2015 I went to London and just recorded a gospel choir whose members included Vula Malinga (Basement Jaxx, Sam Smith), Adeleye Omotayo (Amy Whinehouse), Sam White (Florence & the Machine) and Eska Mtungwazi. They are a powerful layer on the record." On the B-side you will find 'Thin Love' which was the first song recorded under the Olsson moniker "Thin Love is about feeling numb really. Its about breaking out of something truly destructive. Thin Love is the first song I wrote for Olsson. I was in a very disturbed state. It was the point where I told my demons to fuck-off."
Musically Olsson borrows heavily from Rave Culture, and as a happy consequence sets the tone for many of the collaborators and release ideas. As such you will find the EP on a classic 12" Dance format replete with remixes from House Music prodigy Isaac Tichauer and Drum and Bass legend DJ Marky. "I´m a big fan of both there work. DJ Marky for his 3pm-with-two-cocktails-in-you kind of groove. And Isaac Tichauer for his 3am dancing alone kind of vibe. Its a perfect combination for a all around the clock ep." Even the artwork had to speak the same language, so Olsson turned to Sheffield legends The Designers Republic and asked them to visualise his voice. In doing so Olsson has created an Iconic aesthetic evoking similar work from 90's heroes Aphex Twin, Pulp and Primal Scream; all pioneers of progressive and often twisted design-led visual communication and branding made in collaboration with The Designers Republic.
