On the\u00a0Chukk James<\/strong>-produced\u00a0album standout “Where The Fu Schnickens @?”, Ras\u00a0taps\u00a0one-third of the iconic trio Chip Fu for a special homage to Black music and culture.\u00a0The song’s official\u00a0Gifted Glitch-directed music video\u00a0debuted this week (6\/29\/2026) via AllHipHop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0title Leopard Eats Face<\/em> is a provocation, pointing directly to real-world consequences of voting for the current administration\u2014 from aggressive and violent ICE and Border Patrol tactics, to the erosion of civil liberties. Across the project,\u00a0Ras\u00a0interrogates power, complicity, and survival, reminding listeners that none of this is accidental\u2014or surprising. The album\u00a0features\u00a0cross-generational guest verses from\u00a0Ab-Soul<\/strong>,\u00a0Inspectah Deck<\/strong>,\u00a0Coast Contra<\/strong>,\u00a0Onyx<\/strong>, and more.\u00a0 Singles include\u00a0“42<\/a>” with\u00a0Smif-N-Wessun<\/strong>; “Scar Tissue<\/a>” with\u00a0Treach <\/strong>ofNaughty By Nature<\/strong>, and\u00a0Wais P<\/strong>;\u00a0“Miss Me Yet?<\/a>” with\u00a0Timothy Bloom<\/strong>; and the bonus\u00a0“Mapongo Lions<\/a>“, as heard in\u00a0Dave Chappelle<\/strong>‘s latest\u00a0Netflix special The Unstoppable<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
