Rakim The God MC announces a new project, and drops new single/video “Not To Be Defined” featuring Lazarus
Today, hip-hop history is reborn, as Rakim, widely regarded as The God MC and one of the most influential lyricists of all time, returns with the announcement of a new project The Re‑Up. Setting the stage is the powerful first single, “Not To Be Defined”, featuring Detroit-based, global hip-hop artist Lazarus (who is also a board certified physician, and featured in the U.S. Library of Congress for being the first artist to premiere a song from outer space—check your googles), and produced by Dem Jointz (of Aftermath Entertainment). “Not To Be Defined” is a monumental union of legacy and lyrical mastery.
“You can’t put me in no box, I am not to be defined.”
Some artists don’t fit the mold they break it. “Not To Be Defined” is a statement piece. A manifesto. The chorus alone captures the mission behind the track: to break boundaries and as always central to Rakim, push the culture forward. Rakim’s signature wisdom and laser-sharp cadence mesh seamlessly with Lazarus’ Detroit grit, global perspective, and surgical lyricism. Backed by Dem Jointz’s cinematic production, “Not To Be Defined” stands as a bold manifesto in an era of disposable singles, proving that true hip-hop never dies.
