Supreme Sequel: Ghostface Rehaunts the Rap Game
Ghostface Killah has finally given fans their long-awaited sequel. Supreme Clientele 2, the follow-up to his iconic 2000 album Supreme Clientele, will arrive on August 22, 2025, via Mass Appeal.
Ghostface’s First Punch: A Nostalgic Knockout
The opening salvo, “Rap Kingpin,” produced by Scram Jones, is already out. It artfully flips Eric B. & Rakim‘s “My Melody” and Mathematics‘ beat from “Mighty Healthy,” giving it a nostalgic swagger grounded in gritty modern lyricism. Early reactions from fans indicate that excitement is building around the full release.
Ghostface’s Supreme Squad: Legends Assemble
Clocking in at 22 tracks, Supreme Clientele 2 boasts heavyweight features from Nas, Conway the Machine, Styles P, M.O.P., Redman, Dave Chappelle, and Ghostface’s Wu-Tang clanmates Raekwon, Method Man, and GZA. His statement nods to the original’s legacy: “We dug in the files from years ago and pulled together a Clientele that is Supreme.”

Portrait of an Era Revisited
Supreme Clientele was more than an album. It defined a mindset and moment. Ghostface acknowledged that feeling may never be duplicated but affirmed it can be tapped into by revisiting the archives and spirit of the era.
Building From Solid Ground
This album follows Set the Tone (Guns & Roses), released in May 2024. That project marked Ghostface’s first studio album since 2019’s Ghostface Killahs and featured collaborations with Nas, Kanye West, Method Man, and Raekwon.
Throwback to the Classics
If you’re new to the Supreme Clientele era, revisit tracks like “Apollo Kids,” “Cherchez La Ghost,” and “All That I Got Is You.” For a modern bridge, Set the Tone (Guns & Roses) shares similar sonic DNA and creative ambition.
One More Thing
Ghostface’s return with Supreme Clientele 2 feels like a full-circle moment, bringing together archival materials, top-tier collaborators, and a flow that remains timeless. As one fan put it, this release marks the moment many have been waiting for.
