The album is led by the single, “Fly Till I Die” with Big Daddy Kane.

“The National Hip Hop Museum has forged a relationship with label Ewing Athletics," NHHM founder Jeremy Beaver previously told Rock the Bells about the album. "Coming off the heels of Rakim’s sneaker deal, label owner Dave Goldberg and I saw an opportunity to record, revive and reinvigorate one of the greatest MCs in the history of Hip-Hop through his first album in five years."

In addition to the album's release, The National Hip-Hop Museum will be inducting Kool G Rap at its Grand Induction Gala taking place on Aug. 26 in Atlanta. He'll be inducted alongside Hip-Hop legends Chubb Rock, Slick Rick, Kool G Rap, Whodini, UTFO, Speech, and Diamond D.

The album is set to arrive Oct. 14.
