Ghostface Killah<\/strong>, emblematic member of the Wu-Tang Clan<\/strong>, continues with a new single entitled Rap Kingpin<\/em><\/strong>, which comes from his latest album Supreme Clientele 2<\/strong><\/em>. With this song, he recalls his importance in the history of rap and confirms that he remains a respected and listened to figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a time when many rappers of his generation are choosing to step back, Ghostface Killah<\/strong> demonstrates that it continues to have a voice and a place in today's culture. Rap Kingpin<\/em><\/strong> acts as a reminder: his journey is not only behind him, it is also part of the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released on July 31, 2025<\/strong>, Rap Kingpin<\/em><\/strong> was produced by Ghostface<\/strong> in collaboration with Scram Jones<\/strong>. The music is based on a sample of My Melody<\/em> by Eric B. & Rakim<\/strong>, an assumed nod to the origins of Hip-Hop, while reusing familiar sounds from his own repertoire, notably Mighty Healthy<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghostface<\/strong> proves that he remains a reference and that he still knows how to speak to both the old and new generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
