Rakim's "The Seventh Seal" is Grammy Material

Dec. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- The Seventh Seal Delivers "Lyrical Crack"

       As the undisputed, “most influential and skilled MC of all time due to his exceptional flow and complex lyrical craftsmanship,” Rakim’s latest album: The Seventh Seal single-handedly resurrects  hip hop. This masterful work of urban genius again anoints Rakim as the fundamental voice of a generation  of  hip-hop lovers seeking to finally dismiss weaker, “played out” Auto-Tune rappers now dominating the major airwaves.
       Rakim is “the truth” on "The Seventh Seal" and this long-anticipated album is clearly among his finest works. "There is tremendous Grammy nomination buzz percolating for Rakim" says Tana of StreetHeatTv.com. On The Seventh Seal, Rakim is the streets five-star general reincarnated as urban musical legend. Generally regarded as “the most studied MC of all time,” Rakim delivers lyrical crack to his fans as only he can.    With a brilliant collaboration with Maino entitled “Walk These Streets,” the duo deliver a raucous staple from the now popular album.
   As you can imagine if you are a Rakim-phile, you’ll already have most of the hits that he is most famous for. However, "The Seventh Seal" was damn good to listen to and anxious fans will again be filling up stadiums and arenas in 2010 for live performances of this guy.
      The “Seal” album has fourteen bangers and there are music videos currently in the works produced partly by StreetHeatTv.com which feature Maino and others. Although as I said before, the dedicated Rakim fan will have all the songs and videos from other available iTunes downloads but if you’re a relative novice, then this album will serve as an instant collector’s item for 2010.
       “The Seventh Seal” is currently available on iTunes.com or better yet, first visit www.Rakim.com.
