The Seventh Seal is Rakim's third solo album and seventh album if you include his work with Eric B. The New York rap icon told Billboard.com that the inspiration for Seventh Seal came from the significance of the number 7. "The 7th letter of the alphabet is G -- that stands for God. There are 7 continents, 7 seas. The Seventh Seal deals with that and also some revelations in the Bible."
He further explained that the album title is also intended as a metaphor for the end of hip-hop's old era and, subsequently, the beginning of a new age.
