Rappers Are Rapping Again!, will drop in April of 2017. In addition to the much welcome news, Gab has also dropped a snippet of a new song called “It’s Just Practice.” The song won't be featured on Rejoice! Rappers Are Rapping Again! Listen to the snippet via Soundcloud below. Head to Gift of Gab's website to get the full track for free. “The new batch of songs I’m working on is all about lyricism for heads who love it,” Gab told HipHopDX. He continued “I’m in a place in my career right now where I’m hearing a lot of talk that Hip Hop isn’t as lyrical as it once was. I come from the school of Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and rappers that are really intensely rhyming. With this new slew of music I am doing, it’s almost like I’m rhyming for other rappers." Scroll down to peep tour dates for Gift of Gab and Blackalicious below and stay tuned for more info regarding Gift of Gab's Rejoice!
