Some collaborations feel inevitable. Others make history.
On June 19, 2026, Mic King released “Hallelujah,” featuring and produced by hip-hop legend Rakim, bringing together two artists connected by a shared respect for lyricism, authenticity, and the enduring spirit of hip-hop.
For King, the record represents more than a new release—it is the culmination of a journey that has taken him from battle rap stages and underground hip-hop showcases to global business leadership, without ever losing sight of the culture that shaped him.
Throughout his career, King has earned recognition as both a gifted lyricist and an influential entrepreneur. While many now know him as the founder of iPullRank and the driving force behind SEO Week, his artistic foundation remains deeply rooted in hip-hop.
“Hallelujah” reflects those experiences, blending introspection with celebration and perseverance. Rakim’s production provides the backdrop for a record that honors hip-hop’s traditions while embracing personal growth and evolution.
“This record is a reflection of gratitude, growth, and persistence,” King said. “To collaborate with Rakim, someone whose influence shaped generations of artists, is an incredible honor.”
The single also arrives as King expands his cultural impact through The Craft, a Brooklyn-based live event series dedicated to showcasing elite lyricism and creating elevated hip-hop experiences that celebrate the art form’s creative depth.
For Rakim, whose influence helped redefine lyricism and transformed hip-hop’s artistic possibilities, the collaboration serves as another reminder that his legacy continues to inspire artists across generations.
“Hallelujah” will be available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music, offering listeners a collaboration that honors hip-hop’s past while looking confidently toward its future.
