Now is the time to go buy the Rakim single, “Holy Are You”, from Amazon, Itunes, Emusic or other reputable digital outlets. The reason why I am promoting this song so much is because:
It’s Rakim.
It’s on his own label.
The more downloads the more of a demand for his album to drop.
I just bought the song from Amazon and it was more than worth the 99 cents.

So I was watching Soul Assassins TV (more on that later…) and DJ Solo drops a Rakim joint that I never heard before. So I go internet digging and find out that is called, “Holy Are You” off his upcoming album entitled, “The Seventh Seal”. If I was up on my YouTube viewing, I would have caught this song a year ago of him performing it at the Knitting Factory. Billboard.com recently put up an interview with Rakim explaining the new album name and letting us know …
