Hip-hop icons Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa will release their landmark collaborative album, The Godbody, on September 18, 2026.
After announcing the project with the first Rakim solo, self-produced track in fifteen years “A Different Kind,” which trended on social media on two different occasions upon its release, the single offered fans an intimate look at the artistry of a man widely regarded as one of the genre’s most influential voices.
Now, the trio has released the album’s second single, “Goin Down,” which predominantly features Rakim, Kurupt and Masta Killa and also West Coast stalwart Kokane. “Goin Down” is now available at all digital streaming platforms (DSP).
The Godbody is more than an album, it’s a landmark moment for Hip-Hop; but its also a mission that aligned three of hip-hop’s most respected lyricists to deliver a body of work built upon mutual respect, legacy, uncompromising artistry and coastal unity.
Recorded across both coasts: Kurupt representing California and Masta Killa and Rakim representing New York, the project was built to showcase the diversity and versatility of the trio while embodying a vision first imagined by the late Tupac Shakur; to unite the greatest emcees from the East and West Coasts into a single, undeniable body of work. The Godbody delivers on that vision, aiming to give fans the feeling of “One Nation.”
The Godbody is produced in its entirety by Rakim and Nick Wiz, and features collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, KRS-One, Daz Dillinger, Kool G Rap, Buckshot, Kokane, and Killa Sin among others.
Fans can now pre-order the album on vinyl, CD, Cassettes and Merch bundles and more now at https://dpgwutanggodbodylp.com/.
