West Coast rap icon Ras Kass is back and in rare form, gearing up to release his highly anticipated new album Leopard Eats Face this Friday, 2/13. Known for razor-sharp lyricism and fearless commentary, Ras Kass continues to prove why his name still rings loud across generations of hip-hop.

The album rollout has already delivered a strong batch of singles. “42” teams Ras with Brooklyn vets Smif-N-Wessun, blending coast-to-coast energy with veteran bars. “Scar Tissue” brings together an all-star trio with Wais P and Treach of Naughty By Nature, offering gritty reflections over hard-hitting production. On a more introspective note, “Miss Me Yet?” featuring Timothy Bloom showcases Ras’ emotional depth, while “Hit List” reminds listeners he can still go straight for the jugular.
The guest list on Leopard Eats Face reads like a hip-hop hall of fame meeting a new-school cipher. Features include Ab-Soul, Inspectah Deck, Onyx, and Ras Kass’ own children, Coast Contra, making the project both a legacy statement and a family affair.
Adding to the momentum, Ras Kass’ powerful track “Mapongo Lions”—set to appear as a bonus track on the digital release—has been tapped as the opening theme music for the new Dave Chappelle Netflix special, further cementing Ras’ cultural relevance well beyond the booth.
With Leopard Eats Face, Ras Kass isn’t just dropping another album—he’s making a statement. Stay locked to SwaysUniverse.com for updates, reactions, and all things real hip-hop as this one lands.
