When Nelson Mandela passed a way a couple weeks ago, the world was distraught. A man who fought so hard for his country, and suffered more than most of us can ever imagine, was no longer here. Rakim, a legend in the game, releases this new track titled “Madiba” in honor of the late hero and he quickly reminded us what he can do on the mic. Enjoy this honest tribute after the break.

This track is promotion for a new film titled Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which will be in theaters on Christmas.
