From Ras Kass’s latest album ‘Leopard Eats Face’. West Coast Rap legend Ras Kass released ‘Leopard Eats Face’, his first new solo album in five years, on February 13, 2026 via Soulspazm/HillTop Ave.

With a pen that’s as sharp and incisive as ever, Ras reasserts his uncompromising voice, offering sociopolitical commentary and critiques of both American politics and the music industry. On the Chukk James-produced album standout ‘Where The Fu Schnickens @?’, Ras taps one-third of the iconic trio Chip Fu for a special homage to Black music and culture. The title is a provocation, pointing directly to real-world consequences of voting for the current administration— from aggressive and violent ICE and Border Patrol tactics, to the erosion of civil liberties. Across the project, Ras interrogates power, complicity, and survival, reminding listeners that none of this is accidental—or surprising. The album features cross-generational guest verses from Ab-Soul, Inspectah Deck, Coast Contra, Onyx, and more. Singles include ’42′ with Smif-N-Wessun; ‘Scar Tissue’ with Treach of Naughty By Nature, and Wais P; ‘Miss Me Yet?’ with Timothy Bloom; and the bonus ‘Mapongo Lions’, as heard in Dave Chappelle‘s latest Netflix special ‘The Unstoppable’.

Ras Kass, the West Coast titan hailed as hip-hop’s most dangerous lyricist, has torched the mic for decades with mind-bending bars and fearless urgency. From his cult-classic ‘Soul On Ice’ to cross-continental collabs, he’s not just made history—he rewrote the rules of conscious rap and indie dominance. A certified icon from the underground to the world stage, Ras Kass drops truth bombs on BET, BBC Radio, and global airwaves. Whether schooling the next generation, going to war for free speech, or blacking out live on stage—his legacy isn’t just music. It’s myth. It’s movement. It’s immortal.
