Rapper Rakim talks to Romesh after releasing music for the first time in 15 years. Plus, music from A Tribe Called Quest, Princess Nokia and Black Eyed Peas.

Romesh sits down with New York’s Rakim - widely regarded as one of the most important rappers of all time. One half of the golden age duo Eric B. & Rakim, and a transformative figure in hip hop, Rakim was key in shaping hip hop into the genre we know today.
He talks to Romesh about his musical upbringing, finding his flow and producing his first album in 15 years, ‘G.O.D.s Network: REB7RTH’. There’s also time for music from K7, Memphis Bleek and JAY-Z, Wretch 32, Onyx, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
