Just last week, Chino contributed to Rakim’s first album in 15 years “G.O.D’s Network (REB7RTH)” on the song titled “Pendulum Swing”. “Blessed to be a part of this @thegodrakim project!!” Chino wrote on Instagram. “It’s an honor of high merit!! … Got a call from @official_kurupt, top 7 Mc for me easily!! who is on the first single. Going off about my verse on there, saying the first 2 bars alone! had him wilding and stuck when he heard them!! That was enough to make my life’s work, worth it. My dude and Curator of this entire project @almightym80 made this complete bucket list, childhood dream possible, sincere gratitude Whoadie, the place on my wall for the plaque to go, is already picked out !!! You killed it!”
