Hip-hop has been buzzing about The God MC’s first solo studio album in 15 years. It’s finally here, with G.O.D.S. NETWORK REB7RTH landing on Friday, July 26th. To celebrate the release, Rakim has kicked off a partnership with Gala Music.
First, he dropped the “PENDULUM SWING” NFT on Gala Music a full three weeks before you could hear the song anywhere else. Digital reward enabled copies from the limited NFT run are still available while supplies last. Pick one up to access daily $MUSIC rewards.
Today the Hot Gala Summer continues with a special and indefinitely exclusive instrumental EP with choice tracks from the record. These 7 instrumental tracks won’t be found anywhere but Gala Music, and they’ve all just dropped as limited-supply NFTs.
This instrumental EP is sure to be a hit for hip-hop connoisseurs all over the world.
The 1st beat created for “GODS NETWORK REB7RTH” that went on to become the song “BE ILL” features Masta Killa of the Wu-Tang Clan nd Kurupt Young Gotti of Tha Dogg Pound. Official video for “BE ILL” is available worldwide online now.
This track takes the listener through a range of emotion highlighting everything GREAT about Hip-Hop culture and how a simple instrumental can guide our moods in a positive way. This instrumental ultimately became ”Now is the Time” where Rakim keeps his sword sharp amongst the likes of B.G, Hus Kingpin and Compton Menance. Welcome Home B.G.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created, “Effect Mode” is truly a blessing to the culture. As it appears on “GODS NETWORK”, Rakim carefully crafted a masterpiece alongside a full orchestral choir and violin quartet to truly bring his production ideals to light. The late great Nipsey Hussle alongside Rakim, Planet Asia, Louis King, Snoop Dogg and more handle vocal duties herein thus providing for an unforgettable musical experience. “Love is the Message”
A fun, club-like anthem showcasing the versatile production chops of Rakim. In true unorthodox fashion, Rakim turned an otherwise club inspired anthem into a beautiful composition honoring our fallen comrades and the trials and tribulations that accompany all aspects of life from the perspective of the emcee. Rest in Peace DMX and Fred the Godson. “Gods Playground”
This 90’s inspired boom bap classic rendition was utilized to provide Rakim with his 1st ever full posse cut over the course of his 30+ year career. With an infectious loop reminiscent of the golden era 90’s sound, any Hip-Hop hear across the globe is sure to nod their heads to this absolute monster banger. Album wise, Rakim who handled rhymes, production and cuts is joined by Kxng Crooked, LA the Darkman, Canibus and Chino XL for “Pendulum Swing”.
This melodic banger utilizes keys, harps, drums, bass and more to take the listener on an electrifying ride through the psyche of Rakim’s illustrious Golden Era revival. Longtime “Who’s the Best Emcee?”, Kool G Rap joins Rakim in the duo’s 1st appearance together on the mic in over 20 years for the hit record “International”.
The infectious beat embodies everything great about Hip-Hop Culture. Driven by pulsating Drums and Bass, the listener is instantly taken back to the classic feel of early Jay-Z, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Nas and more. Known as “Sign of Se7en”, the eerie rhymes of the late great Prodigy kick off the track backed by Method Man, Big Twins and X-Raided for a perfect ending to an otherwise flawless album dedicated to everything we have grown to love once again via Hip-Hop culture.

$GALA is the official token of the Gala web3 ecosystem. Consistently placed in the top 100 crypto tokens (by volume) on CoinMarketCap, this token acts as the fuel for a thriving and always growing web3 world, powered by GalaChain.
$GALA on Ethereum
When the development of our layer 1 blockchain had just begun, $GALA was first created as an Ethereum-based token. Even today, as GalaChain is fully operational and rapidly expanding, we strive for interoperability with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, recognizing it as the most widely used blockchain system today.
Bridging $GALA to and from Ethereum is easy, although it is no longer originally minted there. By bridging $GALA to Ethereum, users can take advantage of numerous dApps and exchanges, both centralized and decentralized.
On Ethereum’s massively popular secondary marketplace, OpenSea, you’ll find all the official Gala collections, making it easy to trade Gala ecosystem NFTs.
When your $GALA is on Ethereum, you can:
Create or fill buy and sell orders on dozens of Ethereum-based exchanges
Use it to make GalaChain purchases via your connected web3 wallet
When new $GALA enters into circulation, it is created on GalaChain as a mint allowance, letting the owner decide when the official minting event should take place. Once it is minted from allowance to its tokenized form, it can be:
Spent in the GalaChain ecosystem
Used in Gala Games
Swapped on GalaSwap
Transferred to other accounts
Bridged to Ethereum
Getting $GALA
There are many ways to get $GALA beyond simply purchasing it from a crypto exchange where it is listed.
Rewards for Founder’s Node Operation
The main way that new $GALA enters the ecosystem is as a reward for the operation of Founder’s Nodes, which power the main Gala ecosystem DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network).
Based on the current total supply of $GALA in circulation, a set amount is allocated for distribution each day to all active Founder’s Node operators. This total distribution amount is distributed to active operators based on a daily point system that rewards each node based on the total amount of time they were active for the previous day. The greatest number of distribution points that can be attained by an operator in a day is 4– 1 for each 6 hour period in which their node was active.
Gala Founder’s Node licenses can be acquired here. They are easy to set up and run in the background of a user’s home computer through the Gala Node software, and they will generate $GALA rewards for every active day.
Rewards for Gameplay
Many of our games offer ways to receive $GALA for gameplay. Here’s a quick rundown of your options:
Champions Arena
When you compete in the PvP Arena against other players and play with NFT Champions, you are eligible for Victory Points, which convert once daily into $GALA rewards that are delivered directly to your account. Even players who do not own NFT Champions can take advantage of the Nexus feature to borrow and play with NFTs owned by others for a share of the rewards!
By participating in Legacy’s Design competition events of various leagues, players can win Legacy Tickets, which are converted daily to $GALA prizes based on a reward allocation determined by the amount spent in the game.
In the 4X space adventure game Echoes of Empire, players build and defend their home bases while scouring celestial bodies in search of Stardust, an extremely rare and rewarding resource. Every day, 50% of the Stardust held by each player is systematically burned and $GALA is given as a prize from a reward allocation.
Gala’s strategic sim game of town and city builders is centered around a meta-shifting weekly competition in which players from all over the world try to make the most Stars, crafting and selling the flavor of the week! Don’t let the relaxing and adorable feel of the game fool you. It’s an intensely strategic battle for the leaderboards, but winners are well rewarded with $GALA prizes.
Our casual browser-based poker game hosts tables of Texas and Omaha Hold’em. Every day, players win as many chips as they can in the free-to-play game, collecting Sweepstakes entry tickets as they go. Each week hosts a handsome $GALA prize pool in which multiple winners are drawn and each Entry Ticket is a new chance to win!
Every token available on GalaSwap may be swapped for $GALA. This includes project tokens that have been created by community members via the Project Token Creation Tool, as well as in-game currencies from games (like $TOLK, $MTRM and $ETIME) and wrapped versions of cryptos from other blockchains and GalaChain-based stablecoins (GUSDC and GUSDT). It only costs 1 $GALA to create or accept a swap. To start using GalaSwap, just log in with your Gala account credentials.
Trading on External Exchanges
Ethereum-based $GALA is available on dozens of exchanges in lots of different exchange pairs, making it accessible in almost every locality of the world. For a list of $GALA exchange pairings on both centralized (privately owned) and decentralized (open source, anonymous) exchanges, visit the Markets page of CoinMarketCap.
Sending or receiving $GALA is very simple, whether on Ethereum or GalaChain.

Bridging $GALA
Moving $GALA from Ethereum to GalaChain (or vice versa) is easy through your Gala account with a connected Ethereum wallet such as Metamask. If your Ethereum wallet is not connected, you can connect it easily through your account’s Settings under Linked Accounts.
Bridging Fees:
