Soon, the sequel to Ghostface Killah’s 2000 opus, Supreme Clientele, will go from myth to reality. The long-teased Supreme Clientele 2 is out August 22 via Mass Appeal. The first single from the album, “Rap Kingpin,” is out now, and its beat flips both Eric B. & Rakim’s “My Melody” and the Mathematics-produced “Mighty Healthy.” Listen to the new song—made with producer Scram Jones—below, and scroll down for the new album’s artwork.
According to a press release, the 22-track Supreme Clientele 2 features guest appearances from Nas, Conway the Machine, Styles P, M.O.P., Dave Chappelle, Redman, and Ghostface Killah’s Wu-Tang Clan bandmates Raekwon, Method Man, and GZA. “Supreme Clientele was a frame of mind and era in time. You could never duplicate that feeling, but you can tap back in,” Ghostface Killah said in a statement. “We dug in the files from years ago and pulled together a Clientele that is Supreme! Get ready: Supreme Clientele 2 is now.”
Ghostface Killah returned last year with Set the Tone (Guns & Roses). It marked his first studio album since 2019’s Ghostface Killahs.
