"Goin Down" by Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa featuring Kokane is the latest "The Godbody" single from the trio of legends.

The East Coast and West Coast are colliding on the new Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa song "Goin Down," which also features Kokane. It's the latest single from the trio's forthcoming The Godbody LP, which is set to come out on September 18. Unsurprisingly, it features all MCs in great form, tackling a simple vocal sample flip with fun chimes and synths. Although they aren't as great as they were in their prime, they still show off more skill than most. Also, the free-form structure of their verses clashing with each other makes for a no-frills experience for the most part.

Release Date: August 14, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: The Godbody (expected September 18)

Quotable Lyrics from Goin Down

Dogg Pound, Wu-Tang, chitty-chitty, bang-bang
Oxtail, vegan chicken wing, tt's a gangster thing,
I got the shovel, come out the huffel,
'Fore the trouble over bubble

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
