<p> </p><p>By Odeisel</p><p>Last week, Planet Ill sat down with legendary Hip-Hopper Rakim Allah to discuss life, legacy, and music. It’s always a treat to hear from giants, and Rakim Allah was gracious in sharing his history with us. We discussed a wide variety of things about his foundation, his progression, his hidden talents and things that motivated him to take his talent to rarely reached heights. Here is part one of that discussion.</p><p>Rakim Allah: My culture plays a lot; it’s my world. Everything derives from how I see and how I envision the world. It plays a major part.</p><p>Planet Ill: you come from a musical family. Did that give you an advantage over other MC’s in terms of recognizing pacing and flow?</p>
