Rakim is officially back. This is his first single off of his upcoming album, The Seventh Seal. Things kick off with a very religious type of introduction and then give way to the track. The production here is on point. There is a strong bass, some instruments, has a very serious vibe to it. The hook is solid, but could be arranged better. There are some faint vocals and various audio clips. I think the vocals should be the dominant part, as they make the song stronger. I think the extra audio should be taken out or put in another place on the track. The verses were hot, Rakim did his thing. His lyrics were well written, he had good word play, and his delivery was very smooth. Overall, I'd say this was a strong comeback joint. I say give it a play, you won't regret it, especially if your a Rakim fan. -MinM
