In this latest drop from Rakim, he says “Remember being introduced to rap and your first rhyme? It’s pivotal…”
It is. For me, it was “Check Out My Melody”. Pivotal.
He also spits, “We the birthplace of hip-hop, get it in’s the motto/ where swagger was born, we set trends to follow / the home of the Gods, the go-getters / and my flow / ain’t a city been so prolific since Cairo”
You damn right.
So thanks Ra. We’re still here reppin’ for you and NY.
